After playing three games in the California Classic several days ago, the Los Angeles Lakers began their main NBA summer league schedule on Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. They didn't exactly disappoint the fans on hand at the Thomas & Mack Center or the fans who streamed the game elsewhere.
The Lakers started to build a sizable lead in the second quarter and never looked back. They shot 53.6% from the field while holding Oklahoma City to 41.4% shooting and forcing 20 turnovers, and they came away with a 96-84 win.
Four men stood out for Los Angeles, including the two prospects that fans are hoping will break out this coming season.
Kaluma played for the Lakers' G League affiliate this past season and put up solid numbers while shooting a high percentage from the field and from beyond the arc. On Friday, he made a definite contribution off the bench.
The 6-foot-7 forward made all five of his shot attempts, including a 3-pointer, and all five of his free throw attempts, giving him 15 points in 16 minutes. He also had four rebounds and one ****** ist.
