Coming off three disappointing loss, the Los Angeles Lakers looked to get back on track on Wednesday night when they welcomed the Jimmy Butler-less Miami Heat to Crypto.com Arena.
The Lakers suffered a historic blowout to the Heat in Miami at the beginning of December. This time, they were able to erase a first-half deficit to come away with a 117-108 victory and snap their three-game losing streak.
Both offenses had it going early as Tyler Herro and Max Christie exchanged 3-pointers and then Austin Reaves completed a three-point play. Herro killed the Lakers in the first matchup and that was again the case early in this one as he had 13 quick points to give the Heat a lead.
