Impact Schroder appeared to injure his left ankle in the first quarter, but the veteran point guard was able to stay in the game. He had a quiet first half before perking up considerably after halftime, scoring 22 points over the final two periods to finish with a team-high 26. His offense was much-needed in a critical game in the Lakers' push for a playoff spot with each of LeBron James (foot), Anthony Davis (foot) and D'Angelo Russell (ankle) sitting out. This was Schroder's first time hitting the 20-point threshold since he scored 26 against the Warriors on Feb. 11.
