Walton coaching Lonzo during a pause in play against the Nets
He's gone from a star in Boston to being cast aside in Cleveland and now finds himself as a backup with the Los Angeles Lakers, still trying to get healthy after hip surgery.
Naturally when the dam finally broke, it did so in spectacular fashion.
With 21 games remaining on the schedule, the Lakers (27-34) also eclipsed last year's win total, ensuring their most victorious season since 2012-13.
Miami are 2-0 on their current five-game home stand and hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race. With Cleveland, Thomas had a true shooting percentage of 49 percent, a number he has increased to 56 percent since moving to LA. If he can continue his improved play, just like how he did in South Beach on Thursday, finishing with eight points, six rebounds, seven assists, and six steals, it will be a huge confidence booster for Ball. "He's one of the really unique players that it doesn't matter if he's taking shots and scoring 20 or not - he can affect the game all over".
Winners of 15 of their past 22 games after a 12-27 start to the season, the Lakers made 16 of their 29 three-point attempts and scored 48 points in the paint and another 22 on fastbreaks and became only the seventh team to score 125 points or more in regulation against the Heat since Riley came over from the Knicks.
Randle had little issue getting to the rim with his blend of size and speed, particularly when matched up against one of Miami's smaller bigs. The Los Angeles Lakers are shooting 33.9 percent from beyond the arc and 69.7 percent from the free throw line. One adjustment he made Tuesday night was to take more floaters and pull-up jumpers to get in a groove. "We exploit it, we feed him and he just comes through". He had played two games prior to Thursday, coming off the bench in each.
Ingram was a mid-range machine, shooting 4-of-5, while also attacking the basket for three layups.

S&P 500 index heads for its worst month in 2 years
The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index finished down less than 1 percent on Wednesday but is up more than 5 percent on the year. The Cboe Volatility Index.VIX, the most widely followed barometer of expected near-term volatility of the S&P 500 index .
The Lakers will complete their four-game road trip Saturday with a matchup against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Lakers want Thomas to mentor their young players, and they're giving him rest and recovery time when he needs - mindful that he wants to go into this summer as healthy as possible. Goran Dragic is averaging 17.5 points and 4.9 assists while Hassan Whiteside is averaging 14.2 points and 11.9 rebounds.
"Everybody's body is different", Walton said. "It was a flashback to what he did to everybody last season".
The return of Ball, who has been out with a knee injury since January 13, has helped bolster L.A.'s already strong passing game.
"He just does such a nice job of mixing it up", Walton said. The road team has also cashed in five of the last six meetings between these two teams while Sacramento has been an terrible bet at home, failing to cover in eight of its last 10 games on its home court.
"It's tough, but at the same time, I know it's a marathon, one day [at a time]".
Dwyane Wade continued his hot play with 25 points off the bench for Miami.
