Jordan Clarkson provided another spark off the bench and Julius Randle notched a double-double in a victory against the New York Knicks, but not to be overlooked were the contributions Alex Caruso made in a career-high 31 minutes.
Tyler Ennis received another start in place of the injured Lonzo Ball, but his effectiveness was largely limited to the first quarter. When the Lakers struggled out of halftime, Caruso was among the five substitutions head coach Luke Walton quickly made as he looked to reverse the tide.
Caruso finished with nine points and eight assists, both of which were career-best marks, to go along with four rebounds and one steal.
