Lakers want 'passive' Lonzo Ball to be more aggressive

After starting the first two games of the Lakers' recent road trip shooting a combined 1-for-11 and scoring a total of two points, Lonzo Ball was mired in yet another ugly shooting slump.

But this one seemed to be a little more jarring considering Ball did not score a point in 28 minutes in a loss at Orlando last Saturday.

So before the Lakers played the Cavaliers, Ball's coaches and teammates -- including LeBron James -- had the same message for the point guard. The Lakers told Ball to play aggressively and not settle for 3-point shots.
