Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak was on hand to peep the talent.
Either Kupchak likes the Zags, having signed
Robert Sacre and Elias Harris in the past, or there
were more fans there than at Staples.

ZagSlammed: LMU
A great transition play and a heads-up pass by Kevin Pangos hands our second ZagSlam honors to Domantas Sabonis. In a way it trivializes some swift maturing in the true freshman, as he showed some composure in the post under pressure… but his slam was plain old fun down the lane, so enjoy:
(sidenote, please forgive me for the amateurish youtube clip. Root Sports doesn't make highlights available like ESPN so this is the best I can do for you)
Pangos to Sabonis to Rim

Pangos to Sabonis to Rim
Add Pangos to the Morrison, Dickau List
Kevin Pangos took 5th place honors for all time Zag assists, and is 6 3-pointers away from being the in first all time Zag in 3 balls. Each of those alone is a monumental achievement. Add that he has one of the best assist/turnover ratios in D1 ball, and the statistics show he's a record-setting playmaker and a scorer.
Zags Playing Fundamental Ball
20 assists on 24 field goals. I'll let that sink in before I ramble on. It wasn't enough that Pangos is posting historic assists numbers, or that he's a leader in D1 assist/turnover ratio. The team is moving the ball, making the proverbial "extra pass." It's not as if we need to make the extra pass either. Ignoring the free throw shooting from the Pepperdine game, the Zags shoot well. The team is getting assists because it's better basketball. If this is a habit, it will be a habit that minimizes the margin of error come march, it breaks down defenses, and it gets Ws.

Nice work Taymour!
I could get tired of these 20+ point blow-outs, not really.
