The Los Angeles Lakers are back in the playoffs, but a brain fart nearly cost them.
"It's unfortunate that AD had a brain fart and messed his game-winner up," James said, laughing and pointing towards Davis outside of the frame. Schroder simultaneously wowed and put his hands against his cheeks with a smile.
Davis then walked over and grabbed the microphone to apologize as James laughed it off in the background. Los Angeles trailed by as much as 15 in the second half before staging a late comeback to win. James led the way with 30 points, 10 rebounds and six assists while Davis posted 24 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals.
Schroder also chipped in with a massive contribution off the bench. Whereas starter D'Angelo Russell struggled shooting 1-for-9 in 24 minutes against his former team, Schroder came off the bench and provided 21 points in 33 minutes, going 8-for-8 from the foul line in the process. The Lakers will now play the No. 2-seeded Memphis Grizzlies in the first round while Minnesota will await the winner of No. 9 New Orleans Pelicans vs. No. 10 Oklahoma City Thunder to play for the No. 8 seed.
