Lakers legend James Worthy thinks that head coach Frank Vogel found a lineup that can close out the games. The three-time NBA champion made such comments after Los Angeles defeated the Wizards.

Vogel benched Russell Westbrook for most of the fourth quarter and relied on LeBron James, Malik Monk, Austin Reaves, Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson.

“I think Vogel might have found … I don’t know whether it’s going to stick … but he found some closers in the fourth quarter,” Worthy said on Spectrum SportsNet. “A group of young guys surrounding LeBron James.

“Monk, Reaves, Gabriel coming in, I don’t know if he’s going to get a lot of playing time in the future, but for tonight those young guys around him played well in the fourth quarter, closed out the game, moved the ball, 28 assists tonight. But LeBron was just determined not to lose tonight.”
