Talen Horton-Tucker exploded with 33 points as the Los Angeles Lakers crushed the Clippers in their second preseason game (131-106).

The 20-year-old former 46th overall draft pick was the top performer yet again for defending champions, who were without LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope talked about his teammate’s impressive performance post game. “He’s been playing like that since the start of the training camp in practice.

Just being aggressive, getting downhill, making plays. Just being solid all around player. It’s showing that he put in work,” Pope said.
