About this episode
Well that was nuts.
The Lakers opened what would eventually be a 127-125 OT win over Denver with 15 minutes of their best basketball this year. Red hot shooting! Attentive, aggressive defense!
But things slowed down getting to half, and in the third quarter the large lead the Lakers had completely evaporated. In the fourth, they fell behind by as much as seven... and then came back! And the bucket pushing them into OT came off an intentionally missed free throw by Austin Reaves, who got his own rebound and scored. Nobody has ever seen that work.
Luka Doncic finished with 30/11/13, Reaves had 32/7/6, LeBron James 17/6/5, Marcus Smart (who was incredible defensively) finished with 21, including five 3-pointers.
As a result the Lakers win the tiebreaker over Denver, which could be crucial before the end of the year.
Huge win for LA.
HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
