With the NBA season on hold indefinitely, we have taken the opportunity to rank and match-up Lonzo Ball’s greatest performance in a March Madness bracket format.
Round 1, Game 1
Round 1, Game 2
Round 1, Game 3
Round 1, Game 4
With the first round over, we move into the semi-finals where the top seeds from both the first and most recent match-ups meet.
No. 1 seed – Lakers vs. Phoenix, Oct. 20, 2017
Lonzo Ball needed all of two games to set a point total that still is the best for his career. Only four times has Ball eclipsed 25 points and only one other time did he finish with at least 10 rebounds and nine assists as well.
No. 5 seed – Lakers at Charlotte, Dec. 15, 2018
Ball’s historic triple-double with LeBron James earned an upset win in the opening round to move into the semi-finals.
Ball and James became the first Laker duo to record triple-doubles in the same game since 1982. The last time it happened in the NBA was 2007 by the pairing of Vince Carter and Jason Kidd.
