LOS ANGELES — The Lakers seemed headed for another loss on Wednesday night, having surrendered a 16-point second-half lead and dogged by their typical shooting struggles, when they were given just a drop of grace.
It set the stage for a triumphant comeback, one that LeBron James and Anthony Davis helped captain for an eventual 120-117 win in overtime. But without Ryan catching an inbounds pass from Austin Reaves and firing it up for his third 3-pointer of the night, none of it would be possible. The Lakers culled that winning effort from multiple sources: They couldn’t have won in overtime without drives from James and Davis, who only shot a combined 17 for 40 from the field. But they also got critical rebounds from Reaves and Patrick Beverley, who were a part of the closing group.
