Los Angeles — The Los Angeles Lakers are 3-2 since losing Rajon Rondo to a broken hand that required surgery almost two weeks ago, and head coach Luke Walton said before the Lakers’ 108-104 loss to the Orlando Magic that the area the team has missed Rondo most is how he lead their bench unit and made sure everyone was in the right spots at all times.
“With Rondo in there, a big part of what we did — and me and him communicated with that — was really orchestrating that group as far as getting certain guys shots and running certain plays each time down,” Walton said.
