After Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic hit a floater in the lane with just a few seconds remaining in Friday’s game, Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton knew his team just had one chance to win following his timeout, so he drew up a play for Julius Randle.
There was only one problem: The Lakers couldn’t get the ball to their bully of a fourth-year forward. “The guy defending Zo did a good job of just leaving and denying Julius. It was going to be a hand-back with him and Zo, but we couldn’t get the ball in to Zo,” Walton explained after the loss.
