The Los Angeles Lakers picked up their second win of the season Wednesday night, and at the same time handed the Washington Wizards their first loss as they erased a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit to force the game into overtime, and then came away with the 102-99 victory at Staples Center.
The game was a little more personal than most for the Lakers, as Marcin Gortat and John Wall took shots at Lakers rookie point guard Lonzo Ball before the game, but it was ultimately Ball that got the last laugh.
With the Lakers trailing for most of the game, the unit that sparked the comeback and closed out the game was Ball, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and Julius Randle, five players all under the age of 25.
