The Los Angeles Lakers earned a big overtime win over the Utah Jazz at Staples Center on Saturday afternoon, and now the two teams return to the court on Monday night to finish up their two-game miniseries.
Saturday’s win was a back-and-forth affair as the Lakers blew a double-digit fourth-quarter lead with Jordan Clarkson drilling a late three to give the Jazz a two-point lead. Dennis Schroder responded with a layup to send the game to overtime, and then the Lakers proceeded to take control in the extra period to earn the double-digit win.
Both teams were shorthanded in the game with the Lakers missing both of their stars in LeBron James and Anthony Davis, of course.
