Alex Caruso was sandwiched between Toronto’s Stanley Johnson and Malachi Flynn, the basketball in sight of the Lakers guard. Determined to get the ball, Caruso dived on the court and stole the basketball away from Johnson in the second quarter, the Lakers’ key reserve putting his hustle on full display. Caruso looked up and spotted a streaking Devontae Cacok, who rolled in for a layup off the pass from Caruso.

McLemore is on track to be available when the Lakers play the Miami Heat on Thursday.
