LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers had to survive a wild fourth quarter to get there, but they’re officially headed into the playoffs.
The Lakers rallied out of a 15-point second-half hole and beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 108-102 in overtime of their play-in tournament game on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. That officially got them back into the playoffs and set up a first-round series with the Memphis Grizzlies.
The fourth quarter was incredibly chaotic, and could have gone either way a number of times.
The Lakers had tied things up after mounting a late 16-6 run in the fourth quarter, all while holding the Timberwolves scoreless for more than five minutes.
