It’s not all negative, though. Despite the loss, Larry Nance Jr. and Lou Williams turned in absolutely stellar performances, playing some of their best basketball of the year. We take a look at why Nance is so underrated, as well as how unprecedented Williams’ scoring spree has been. To wrap things up, we discuss some big D’Angelo Russell and Nick Young news about their pending returns from injury. All that and more in the latest edition of the LN Podcast:
