Luke Walton said something somewhat concerning earlier this week about how the Lakers would approach their offense while Rajon Rondo recovers from a broken hand.
“We don’t want to slow things down, but we haven’t been emphasizing as much as far as ‘push every chance we get.’ One, because we’re more focused on our defense right now, and two, we know that Rondo is a big part of leading those breaks,” Walton said.
“(He was) playmaking, making sure that guys get in the right spots and making sure that we’re taking care of the ball,” Walton continued.
