The Los Angeles Lakers played one of the worst halves of basketball they could have ever imagined against the Golden State Warriors in the Play-In Tournament. But when it’s basically playoff season, the only thing that matters is the final result and the Lakers will gladly take that 16 more times.
The Lakers overcame a 13-point halftime deficit and LeBron James knocked down a late, game-winning 3-pointer to give L.A. a 103-100 victory over the Golden State Warriors. The victory places the Lakers in the seventh seed in the Western Conference and they will now take on the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
