In the win over Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat, it was one of the more thrilling ones for the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2018-2019 NBA season.
After a sluggish start to the game that carried into the second half, the Lakers were able to pick up their play in the fourth quarter thanks to some clutch shots from Kyle Kuzma and LeBron James. With Los Angeles up three with only seconds left in the game, Wade missed a buzzer-beating three-pointer to send the game into overtime.
While the win was the most important thing for Los Angeles, the roles the team’s young core played were also worthy of note.
