At a regular season Los Angeles D-Fenders game, the teams are serious and want to win. But during a playoff game, there is a unique electricity in the air. Adding to that electricity were the little dancers in attendance who went wild for everything from Ryan Gomes knocking down free throws to the Lakers Girls performing at halftime. Their energy was admirable and infectious throughout the Lakers practice facility.
There was a lot on the line for the players on both teams with extra attention given in the playoff games. It is not uncommon for the stars of D-League Playoffs to get noticed by the NBA resulting in a possible chance at play now or in Summer League.
