One of Los Angeles' biggest weaknesses this season is getting production from their reserves. Entering Sunday's contest against Toronto, they were averaging just 21.9 points per game, making them the second-worst scoring bench in the NBA behind just the New York Knicks.
It's no surprise that Russell's benching and Cam Reddish taking his place with the starters have given reserve scoring a shot in the arm. Since making the move after an abysmal road trip, the Lakers bench has produced 36 points per game.
