Game Performance
Gabe Vincent played a key role in the Lakers’ narrow win over the Brooklyn Nets on January 17, 2025.

Vincent played 29 minutes, exceeding his projected time on the court by 8 minutes, and helped secure a 102-101 victory for the Lakers.
What It Means
Vincent’s standout performance with blocks and steals highlights his defensive capabilities. Despite scoring only 10 points against the Nets, he shot efficiently with a perfect field goal percentage of 100% from inside the arc. This game is part of his season where he averages 4.5 points per game, ranking him ninth on his team and fifty-ninth among point guards in scoring. His contributions often come off the bench, as he has started only five games this season. The Lakers have performed better offensively when he’s not playing, averaging more points per game; however, they have a better win-loss record when he is on the court.
