Noel solid effort off the bench in LA:

Playing in front of the bright lights of Los Angeles, Noel came up big despite the OKC Thunder falling to the Lakers in a five-point loss on January 19th.

As Adams found it hard to match superstar Anthony Davis, Noel helped out tremendously by coming on and putting up 15 points, eight rebounds and three steals.

Behind Schroder who played incredible with 31 points, the pair brought some much-needed spark onto the court.

Noel’s performance featured a beautiful dime to Schroder as well as some superb ball fakes and post-ups. He was great defensively and with the ball in hand, making it an unpredictable task for the Lakers’ defense.

This game is one of many that have proven why Noel can be such a reliable option. At the right times, he does what is required and with just one made shot can help shift the energy and mood of the team.
