Lonzo Ball may have bounced back with an impressive individual performance Saturday night, but it still wasn't enough to satisfy his father.

LaVar Ball took a subtle dig at his son following the Lakers' defeat to the Boston Celtics, saying a triple-double is meaningless if it isn't accompanied with a win.

"Point guards ain't judged on stats, they're judged on victories," LaVar said.

LaVar has been critical of Lonzo over the past couple days, calling the 19-year-old's summer league debut his "worst game ever."
