The Los Angeles Lakers were firing on all cylinders in their win against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, but there were stretches during the game where the offense stalled, something that has been a recurring issue this season.

When that happens, Lonzo Ball reiterated the importance of staying active when LeBron James has the ball in his hands (via Spectrum SportsNet):

“I would say cut. A lot of guys, we give the ball to LeBron, everybody’s eyes is on him. We’ve got to move, continue to occupy the defense and hopefully either get ourselves open or open up some space for him.”

This isn’t the first time Ball has had to address this issue this season. After Ball made his preseason debut with the Lakers in October, he reminded his teammates that they can’t just watch LeBron James go to work on offense, regardless of how impressive he might be:

“When you play with LeBron you have to make sure to keep playing because he’s easy to just watch with some of the stuff he does. He had a monster first half and he’s the best player in the world, that’s what he does, but we have to keep focusing and keep doing our job.”

Luckily, the Lakers seem to be figuring that out. On Friday against the Pelicans, all five starters, including finished in double figures. Coincidentally, James had 14 assists.

It’s been a slow process, but they’re finally starting to get the ball rolling. Hopefully by the time the postseason rolls around they will have figured each other out.
