Alex Caruso throws down the hammer in 2nd half for Lakers

LeBron James asserted his star talented on Friday night with another monster game and he got plenty of help in what was one of the best games of the young NBA season in Dallas between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks.

Back near where he played college ball at Texas A&M, reserve guard Alex Caruso provided a spark off the bench for the Lakers as he has over the past few weeks. Although Caruso has had big moments, particularly on the defensive end, it would be hard to find a moment that resonated more than his tomahawk jam in the 2nd half as the Lakers clawed their way back in the game.

Caruso has been a huge spark off of the bench for the Lakers in every win the team has had this season. While the Lakers are currently in a tight game against the Mavericks, if they lose, it won’t be the fault of Caruso who once again did a great job in his role off the Lakers bench, even if role doesn’t jump out on the box score. He had 7 points and two rebounds in 14 minutes off the bench.
