The Los Angeles Lakers won their second game in the California Classic in impressive fashion, cruising to a 100-77 win over the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center in San Francisco on Sunday.
The Lakers used a balanced attack to earn the victory, as every player who entered the game scored at least one basket. But point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. stood out for his efficient scoring and playmaking.
Pippen, the son of Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen, scored 15 points and dished out eight assists. He shot 4-of-7 from the field with one three-pointer, and he made six of his seven free throws. Pippen also played a clean game with no turnovers.
Fans on social media liked what they saw from the 21-year-old on Sunday and praised him for his performance.

Nice adjustment in game 2 for Scotty Pippen Jr., showcasing much better PG play. Word out of early Lakers summer practices were that he was impressing with how under control he looked.

Scotty Pippen Jr. was really erratic yesterday but has settled in nicely in his second game.
