Dalton Knecht scores 20 points and Bronny James 13 as Lakers defeat Cleveland for second straight Summer League victory.
JJ Redick and a chunk of his new coaching staff sat baseline Thursday in Las Vegas, the Lakers’ key young pieces all flashing elements of why the Lakers valued them. The result — another Lakers Summer League win and some critic silencing — was momentary. Maybe in the 93-89 win, there was something more. From the jump, Dalton Knecht, the Lakers’ first rounder, splashed threes and attacked the rim with an athletic two-handed dunk.
Maxwell Lewis played a more complementary game while still showing the elite tools that made the Lakers value him a season ago. Second-year center Colin Castleton fired pretty bounce passes to cutters, a skill that could help separate him from other big men. French two-way rookie Armel Traore had his best game of the summer, using his physicality and motor to make plays at the rim on both ends.
