Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball becomes youngest ever to get triple-double

Ball finished with 19 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds. Afterward, Ball said the triple-double didn't mean anything, because the Lakers fell 98-90 for their third straight loss. "I really don't care," Ball said of his first triple-double. "We took a loss. It don't really mean nothing." It's perhaps fitting that Ball collected his first triple-double in his first game against Bucks coach Jason Kidd, who is third all time in triple-doubles with 107, behind only Oscar Robertson and Magic Johnson. Ball has often been compared to Kidd because of his passing, vision, rebounding ability and triple-double-suited game. But Ball, playing in his 13th career game, got his first triple-double much quicker than Kidd, who needed 68 games to get his first.
