What happened: Collin Sexton said: "When I step between those lines, it's us against them. I'm going to do whatever my team needs for me." He added that he turns into a different person when it is time to go.

Why it matters: Sexton made his Lakers debut on Oct. 24 and opened the scoring with a catch-and-shoot 3. JJ Redick has said he loves Sexton's competitive fire.

What to watch: Sexton's next appearances will show how his role settles after the calf strain.
