The Los Angeles Lakers were back on national television to take on the New York Knicks after suffering a heartbreaking loss on Thursday to the Los Angeles Clippers. Well, there was no heartbreak in this game and the Knicks did not blow a huge lead like the Clippers.
The New York Knicks are not a good team at all. To take things even further, they are suffering from the same issues the Los Angeles Lakers are dealing with. But the Knicks has this team’s number for the first 24 minutes of any basketball game. Lake Show Life needs to remind everyone that New York raced out to a 25 point lead before Russell Westbrook had a nuclear explosion in the second half to bring the Lakers back before losing.
The Lakers fell behind by as many as 21 points before MALIK MONK had a nuclear explosion in the third quarter to wipe out the Knicks lead.
The Lakers looked as if they had the game in hand, but terrible free throw shooting left the door open for this shot by RJ Barrett to send it into overtime!

But in the next five minutes, the Lake Show closed the door for a very exciting 122-115 win. It is the second time in as many games the Lakers had to overcome a huge deficit when most considered it a wrap.
The World Champion Milwaukee Bucks are next on Tuesday night.
