NBA Fans React To Lonzo Ball’s Performance
@Tony_Pesta: “I’ve been frustrated, at times, with Lonzo Ball’s lack of scoring But his commitment to finding the open man is what broke the dam tonight for Cleveland. He generated so many clean looks in the fourth quarter, and it finally paid off”
@realcavsfans: “Surface level box score stats aren’t going to recognize the value Lonzo Ball has provided to this offense. In 7+ 4Q minutes on the floor, the Cavs posted a 145 oRTG and were a +11. In 3+ 4Q minutes off the floor, the Cavs posted a 114.3 oRTG and were a -3.”
