Rui Hachimura delivered for the Lakers in a critical win over the Utah Jazz and is making a case for an expanded role vs. the Timberwolves on Tuesday.
Lakers rebounding from a 2-10 start to earn a berth in the play-in tournament no small feat. “The sky’s the limit,” says Lakers coach Darvin Ham.
Over the course of his 23:23 against the Jazz, Hachimura provided the Lakers 12 points, five rebounds and one key block of a shot by Utah’s Kelly Olynyk late in the fourth with the Lakers leading by three points.A few seconds later, Davis scored on a floater, giving the Lakers a five-point lead that was spearheaded by Hachimura’s defense.
“Just a super competitor,” James said of Hachimura. “He wants to be great. He wants to be held accountable. He’s always asking me what he can do better to help this team, how he can be better to help this team. Cause he wants to. The 6-foot-8 Hachimura has averaged 9.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and shot 48.5% from the field in 22.4 minutes per game with the Lakers.“It’s crazy,” Hachimura said. “I still think it’s just like an honor thing. I’m honored to be a part of this organization and honored to play with him. It’s just one of my crazy experiences and it’s going to be in my memories forever. I just got to make the most of it.
