play-in game loss to the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena. With the win, the Lakers completed a dramatic turnaround from their 2-10 start to the season, securing the West’s No. 7 seed and a first-round date with the Memphis Grizzlies.The Lakers claimed their comeback victory through gritty defense and an uncanny ability to barely avoid disaster. LeBron James and company came out flat, making just one of their first 10 shots and looking a step slow on defense throughout the first half.
“Mike caught it in the deep corner and I jumped to not foul him, but he kind of went with me and got a foul,” Davis said. “After it happened, me and [James] discussed and watched it. I told him, ‘My bad.’ I told the team, ‘My fault.’ I’m always the first one to own up to my mistakes. The biggest thing, though, is that it messed up Dennis’s game-winner. He got on me about that.
James led all scorers with 30 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, but his five turnovers and reluctance to attack the basket down the stretch of the fourth quarter and overtime kept this from being a signature effort. If not for Schroder, who scored 21 points off the bench in place of an ineffective Russell, the Lakers would have been headed for the second play-in game themselves.
