The Los Angeles Lakers looked dead in the water to start the game against the Utah Jazz. Head coach Luke Walton’s move to insert Metta World Peace into the starting lineup wasn’t quite paying dividends, but the team went on a 14-2 run when the veteran forward went to the bench. The best play of the run was from none other than Julius Randle:

Steal? Check.
Run the floor? Check.
Slam? Check.
Randle is one of the most versatile bigs in the NBA, and he continues to impress during a breakout campaign for L.A.
