The Los Angeles Lakers got off to a woeful start against the San Antonio Spurs, but as he has in so many games this season, Julius Randle is trying to put the team on his back and bring them back. Randle had missed just one shot as of this highlight being posted, and his activity in transition is a big reason why:

Randle has often taken the ball himself to devastate teams in transition, and while that dunk was way easier than his typical fare, he’ll surely take it as the Lakers try to upset the Spurs.
