SAN DIEGO — With two dribbles, one giant leap and infinite confidence in his athleticism, Lakers rookie forward Larry Nance Jr. created lasting memories.
Nance Jr. stood at the perimeter. He then dribbled into the lane. Then Nance Jr. took one giant leap for mankind by posterizing Golden State’s Festus Ezeli with a one-handed dunk. The Lakers’ 85-70 “victory” over the Warriors on Saturday may have ended with boos among the 14,100 at Valley View Casino Center for the game being called with 2:16 left in the third quarter because of frequent wet spots on the court. But those same fans went wild only three minutes earlier.
