The Lakers were down by double digits entering the fourth quarter against the Miami Heat and with only seven people playable, it looked like the game was in the refrigerator.
The Lakers had other plans.
LeBron James continued to attack the basket, exposing mismatches and racking up 30 points and Christian Wood played well on both sides of the court, hitting timely threes to put the Lakers back in contention. Even with a perplexing ejection of D'Angelo Russell reducing the Lakers to six players, Los Angeles had a chance to win in the closing seconds with Cam Reddish missing the game-winning corner three.
