Bogdan Bogdanovic's 3-Pointer At Buzzer Steals Game From Lakers For Kings
It was disappointing for Los Angeles Lakers to have lose the game to Sacramento Kings which won by late 3-pointer from Bogdan Bogdanovic right at the buzzer on Thursday night.
Lakers were pretty much up to the task against Kings even without their veteran LeBron James as Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram and Tyson Chandlers held the together but couldn't hold on to win.
The visitors were set for a cruise through with more than 14 points (89-104) in the lead with 6 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but let lose the home side to rally and stole the game with Bogdan's 3-pointer to win the game 117-116.
The game could have entered into overtime but Lakers' Brandon Ingram hit one of the two free throws with 4.6 sec remaining before Bogdan stole for Kings at the buzzer.
However, it turned out to be their first close defeat without the four-time MVP veteran LeBron James and as the team manager Luke Walton said after that "this is the first close game" the team have been without James.
He went on to say, "If LeBron James is playing in that game it probably finishes a little differently. When you get the best closer in the game on your team, then you rely on him to do that. All that said, we made enough plays to win."
Kuzma led the scores om both side with 33 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists followed by Ingram with 22 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Lonzo Ball finished with double-digit scoring 20 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists. Chandler was fully engaged in the game and posted 11 points and 10 rebounds.
