Watching Los Angeles Lakers games late at night here in Connecticut, it is easy to notice a bad habit the team has developed when the game is on the line. Despite being on the East Coast, League Pass provides the opportunity to see these developments occur. In person, against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, it happened, first hand.
The Lakers have kept games close for the most part this year. There have been blowout wins and losses, of course, but often times the game comes down to the last few minutes.
