Jim Eichenhofer: A smiling and joking Lonzo Ball’s explanation for why he went back to his previous haircut from earlier in the season: “I had to get a little faster for the last 27 (games), so I had to shave off a little bit of weight.”

Jim Eichenhofer: Lonzo Ball on Bucks defense: “They are a big team and they pack the paint. It’s hard to finish over them so a lot of shots you’ve got to kick out. You’ve got to make those shots. Tonight, we started off making them, but towards the end, we started missing obviously.”
Scott Kushner: Brandon Ingram said it is “very significant” for him to be named an All Star and recognizes its meaning. He credited his teammates several times and pointed out Jrue Holiday’s unselfishness and Lonzo Ball’s friendship in particular.
With No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson back in the lineup, the Pelicans are informing teams that they plan to see this roster through and evaluate the core of Williamson, Brandon Ingram, Jrue Holiday and Lonzo Ball for a longer period of time, according to sources. Will that change between now and Feb. 6?
Lonzo Ball’s per-game assist average was higher on the road than at home in his two seasons with the Lakers. In fact, his assist percentage has been higher on the road every season of his career. Once again, Ball isn’t unique in this phenomenon. Across the league, the home-court assist advantage—a consistent analytical assumption for decades, a staple of NBA scorekeeping—has all but disappeared.
