Lakers' Shake Milton: Steps up off bench in victory

Milton logged 21 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Thursday's 134-96 win over Washington.

Milton got extended playing time off the bench Thursday due to the Lakers being a bit shorthanded and the blowout nature of the contest. He provided a nice offensive lift by finishing as one of three Los Angeles players with 20 or more points. Milton posted his second-highest scoring total of the season, having surpassed the 20-point mark in three outings.
