The Big One achieved after the compensation of Norman Powell three minutes before the end of the next 6 meters of the game, with three fouls and turned four free throws.
Support got the “Brief” by Carmelo Anthony (24, 8/12 FG, 5/6 threesome), who was the only Laker the threesome. Two-digit scores otherwise Dwight Howard (10, 7 Boards) and Avery Bradley (11).
