The Lakers are finally launched, or almost. This Wednesday evening, the men of Darvin Ham won their match with the score of 120-117, after extra time. It took a small miracle from Matt Ryan to save LeBron James’ teammates. Another player also stood out in the City of Angels, to the delight of fans…
2 wins, 5 losses, this is the new record of the Lakers this Thursday, November 3. Still nothing to brag about, but at least we can say Darvin Ham’s men’s season is on. It was time. After a success against the Nuggets, the Angelinos did it again this Wednesday evening with a 120-117 victory against the Pelicans of Zion Williamson. The particularity ? It all ended in overtime.
Two wins in a row for the Lakers!
Led by three points two seconds from the end of the match, the Purple and Gold however found themselves in a very bad position. Fortunately, the teammates of LeBron James had a throw-in, timing chosen by Matt Ryan to send both franchises to OT. Yes, Ryan, that surprise player signed during training camp. A nice shot from the front office…

Once in overtime, the Lakers quickly took the lead for a 120-117 final victory. It was hard, but only the result matters for Darvin Ham’s men. Anthony Davis and LeBron James are content with 20 points each, while the hero of this game is elsewhere. This is Lonnie Walker IV, on fire in his titular role.

When the shooters show up, it immediately becomes easier to win a match. The Lakers will be able to testify to this after their success against the Pelicans. A victory that feels good, allowing Los Angeles to start a series. It was time for the King’s teammates…
