i have my favorite moment. lamar ball checks back into the game. >> i love it. >> there are a lot of stars out in l.a. john wall is one of them. he's not the biggest star, though. having his opponent's father call out his team this past week makes the night special before it's even over. the height machine working overtime as the wizard -- there's alonzo -- wizards and the lakers. the rookie is the first proven vet. alonzo ball comes up with the steal. lakers going the other way. lonzo swatting this one
