In one of the more hilarious and frustrating endings to a Lakers game in recent memory, the Lakers improbably lost to the Pacers at the buzzer on Monday at the hands of an Andrew Nembhard 3-pointer. It came despite the Lakers controlling the game nearly throughout and holding a 17-point fourth-quarter lead before collapsing down the stretch.
A whole host of things went wrong for the Lakers to lose. After going up 101-84, the offense managed just 14 points the remainder of the game while the defense gave up 32 points and six 3-pointers.
