Not really known for creating shots for himself, Los Angeles Lakers sophomore Lonzo Ball put up his highest scoring output of the season during the team's recent win against the Cleveland Cavaliers.  Kyle Kuzma explains the difference between a passive and aggressive Lonzo Ball.

ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk wrote about the Lakers' desire to make Ball more active on offense, including Kuzma's comments on how it could be a positive game-changer for the team.

“It was huge,” Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma said. “We always talk about him being aggressive. He's always so passive. You want an unselfish point guard, but we need him to come in and score. Him coming downhill in transition where he's at his best really helped us in this game.”

Indeed, Ball's aggressiveness on offense proved to be a crucial factor in Lakers' win in Cleveland. He had 11 shot attempts that game, already a season-high for him. Ball finished the game with an impressive all-around stat line of 15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists while shooting 63% from the field.

Ball's ability to make the right decisions on both offense and defense is already well-known around the league. But on Wednesday night, the 21-year old playmaker showed his brilliance on finishing on transition.

Much-criticized for his unorthodox shooting form, Ball has vastly improved his 3-point shooting to a respectable 35% this season. Defense and playmaking are still his trump cards, but look for Ball to be a more potent scoring threat in the future.

Ball and the Lakers will try to make it three wins in a row as they go up against the Utah Jazz on Friday.
