The California Classic summer league tipped off on Monday with a contest between the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat. The Heat thoroughly outclassed Los Angeles, as they jumped out to a sizable early lead and cruised to a 107-90 victory. It appeared they simply had better talent, as University of California, Los Angeles product Jaime Jaquez Jr. had 22 points, while big man Nikola Jovic, who was an NBA rookie this past season, posted 21 points and eight rebounds. But a few players for Los Angeles did show some flashes of promise.
