In what was their most-contested game of the Las Vegas Summer League, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, 112-109, in double overtime. The Lakers improved to 6-0 in Las Vegas this year and punched their ticket to the championship game.
Los Angeles and Cleveland combined for 16 lead changes and 13 ties. While it was the Lakers who developed a habit of jumping out to early leads, the Cavs made six of their first eight attempts, including three 3-pointers, to take a 15-10 lead.
But the Lakers responded with a 12-0 run and led 28-23 at the end of the first quarter.
