Lakers: D-Fenders Win Big in Game 1 of West Finals

While the Los Angeles Lakers are sitting at home waiting on the 2016 NBA Draft Lottery, the NBA D-League Playoffs are down to the final four teams and the Los Angeles D-Fenders made the cut.

In the first round, the D-Fenders handily won in Game 1 against the Reno Bighorns, but suffered a miserable defeat in Game 2, falling 123-116. In the decisive final game on Tuesday, though, the Lakers D-League affiliate beat the Reno Bighorns, 111-108, to move on to the Western Conference Finals against the Austin Spurs.

Game 1 of the series opened up on Thursday night against the Spurs at home for the D-Fenders.
