If the scoreboard hadn’t been visible when Wesley Matthews hit his second three in a row in the fourth quarter of Game 3 against the Suns, one would have been forgiven for thinking his jumper had just iced an NBA Finals game — or at least a series-clinching victory — based on the way the rest of the Lakers celebrated.
Starting center Andre Drummond and two-way player Devontae Cacok mimicked Matthews’ trademark bow and arrow celebration in unison. Talen Horton-Tucker ran onto the court to hug the veteran shooting guard who took his spot in the rotation as the Suns called timeout to stop the bleeding.
