The Los Angeles Lakers have been struggling mightily of late, and early in Friday’s contest against the Washington Wizards, it looked like yet another loss was ahead for the Purple and Gold.
But the team responded with a very strong third quarter, and they rode that wave of momentum into the final frame, denying the Wizards from making any kind of sincere late push.
The Lakers pulled away for a 122-109 win, and LeBron James led the way with an extremely efficient 50 points. But he wasn’t the only one who helped the Lakers win.
Take a look at the top plays from Friday’s victory.
