“I think you keep your cool as you work in the gym for those types of moments,” Nembhard said. “You just have to bring your confidence, and when it comes, you just have to step up for the team that way. I think it was a great team win, we had a lot of contributions from a lot of guys, and it was my turn to give a step forward at that moment to win the game”.
For the Lakers, this defeat was a devastating blow, since the team came in its prime and it seemed that they were ready to put their ugly start to the season behind them.
“I wish we would have been a lot more aggressive, we had to keep playing with rhythm and also stay organized and moving the ball,” Lakers coach Darvin Ham said. “And that falls on me, it’s my fault what happened in this game.”
