For three-and-a-half quarters, the Golden State Warriors and their fanbase were able to forget that a player who was on their roster just a few days prior was now sitting on the opposing Los Angeles Lakers bench.
But then Kent Bazemore got into foul trouble, which meant that it was time to shine for veteran guard Avery Bradley, and shine he did in his limited action on Tuesday.
