L-A fans, we can finally say the Lakers are Champions……. of the NBA summer league of course. Don’t worry everyone, the Lakers will make it to the finals VERY SOON. 

For now, the LA Lakers are enjoying their win 110 to 98 against the Portland Trail Blazers. They won the Las Vegas Summer League championship Monday night at the Thomas & Mack Center.

Some top performing players are Kyle Kuzma who scored 30 points and had 10 rebounds. Kuzma averaged 21.9 all summer and even took the MVP for the championship game. Look at his buzzer beater shot!

Although Lonzo Ball did not get to play the championship game [due to a right calf sprain] he still took home the Most Valuable Player for the entire league. Check out his acceptance video below:
