Lakers guard D’Angelo Russell celebrates after his go-ahead basket with 5.9 seconds left in their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night at Crypto.com Arena. Russell scored 21 of his 44 points in the fourth quarter and the Lakers held on to win, 123-122. LOS ANGELES — The Lakers have shown that LeBron James’ presence on the court isn’t the be-all and end-all when it comes to them earning wins.
“That’s D-Lo man, just playmaking, constantly thinking the game,” coach Darvin Ham said. “He kept his word when I told him to take over the game. I told him in the first half, stay aggressive. I need you to be aggressive all night. And he did that.” The Lakers and Bucks went back and forth for most of Friday, with neither team opening a double-digit lead at any point in the game, with the Lakers taking a 96-90 lead into the fourth and a 110-109 lead into the final four minutes.
Russell kept leading the Lakers, making an and-one floater to pull them within one with 39 seconds left.
