After losing nine of their last 11 games, the Los Angeles Lakers not only came up with a much-needed win, but they did so against a hot team of late in the Toronto Raptors.
L.A. got off to a good start, and although Toronto responded by taking the lead, the Lakers showed great fight and energy throughout.
This was a thrilling nail-biter, and just when it looked like the Lakers were going to drop yet another contest, a number of playing came up big with some huge clutch plays.
It all resulted in a 128-123 win in overtime to (somewhat) stop the bleeding.
The Lakers will be right back at it on Saturday when they take on the Washington Wizards in our nation’s capital.
