Matt Ryan—no not that Matt Ryan—became the most unlikeliest of heroes for the Lakers on Wednesday night when the bench player made an incredible three-pointer to send the game into overtime against the Pelicans. And after the win, he clearly wasn’t used to the attention he was getting.
“Where’s Bron? I feel like Bron,” Ryan said when several reporters crowded his locker.
Ryan was of course referring to LeBron James, who finished the game with 20 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. But the moment was all his. Ryan explained that coach Darvin Ham drew up the game-saving shot specifically for him and gushed over the experience.
