Their comeback from 15 points down to beat Minnesota in Tuesday’s play-in game encapsulates their entire saga this season, from the 2-10 start to their effort to stay in the fight.
LOS ANGELES — Maybe it was fate that pushed the Lakers into their triumphant moment Tuesday night.
And yet … maybe we’re looking at a true zombie team here, The Team That Wouldn’t Die. A team that started the year 2-10, dealt with injuries and personnel changes and stayed in the fight, and somehow is still in it. “But again, you have to find the silver lining in things, whether it’s basketball, major sports in general, in life. You constantly got to look for a silver lining and look forward and learn from these mistakes so that, you know, they’re not repetitive, they don’t become repetitive.”
The craziness of the late stages of regulation – a dead-on 3-pointer by Dennis Schröder to give the Lakers a 98-95 lead with 1.4 seconds left, followed by a questionable foul call against Anthony Davis on a 3-point try by Minnesota’s Mike Conley with one-tenth of a second left and Conley’s three free throws to re-tie the score – probably didn’t faze the Lakers because the entire journey from 2-10 to the playoffs has been crazy.
“You know, just always trying to find a way. And tonight was another instance of that versus a very, very, very good team.”
