  You cannot help the team without Rebounding big numbers and Blocking shots. We don’t need points. Another team might, not us.

Members of the Lakers training staff wrap Deandre Ayton's water bottle in athletic tape and write "DA's Crunk Juice — Drink this to unleash the beast" in black marker on it before games to keep him motivated, per @mcten pic.twitter.com/Q0Ju6GHVAy
