OT
WAS 99 LAL 102
These are the kinds of games where young teams grow up! What a game! The Lakers scratched and clawed all game and they came out with the win! This was a great, team effort and a great way to overcome a lot of adversity that happened in tonight's game. The Wizards are undefeated no more! Stay tuned for the full recap.
Q4
WAS 92 LAL 92
Despite the the careless turnovers this game, I'm really proud of the fight of this Lakers' team tonight. Just when the Wizards were about to pull away, the Lakers make a run of their own down the stretch. Clutch three by Julius Randle of all people. Bradley Beal misses 1 of 2 free throws. Ingram with nice penetration, missed the first time, but grabbed his own rebound for the tip-in to tie the game. The Lakers' are giving the Wizards a run for their money as Washington just wants to head home, still undefeated. Let's see if the Lakers have enough juice for OT. That's the biggest test for this young team.
Q3
WAS 79 LAL 69
All the Lakers needed was to get this lead trimmed down to single digits heading into the 4th. At the same time, the last thing they needed was John Wall and Bradley Beal getting it going. Washington's back court found their game this quarter and that was the main reason they lead in double-digits. The Lakers are making a lot of careless turnovers. It's the story for every young team, but a lot of them were not on good defense by the Wizards. The Lakers' made a small run mid-quarter. Let's see if they can make another push in the final quarter of the game.
