The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Indiana Pacers on the road in overtime, 124-116.
The Lakers had a major reinforcement with LeBron James returning to the lineup, but Anthony Davis didn’t play because his fever didn’t completely go away.
Indiana controlled the score for the majority of the game. Every time the Lakers made a run to make it close, the Pacers would go on another run and establish a double-digit lead.
Los Angeles took its first lead late in the fourth quarter when Frank Vogel deployed LeBron at center and surrounded him with four shooters. Russell Westbrook went in and out of this lineup but ultimately closed out the game.
Chris Duarte made an incredible three in the final seconds to force overtime, but LeBron showed he is still the king with several deep 3s to seal the win.
Here is how the Lakers, now 10-10 on the year, graded individually:
