Lakers players celebrated Stephenson's play as wildly as a buzzer-beater.
In a season during which positive moments have been few and far between, Lance Stephenson gave the Los Angeles Lakers fans and players something to celebrate on Tuesday night in a 124-106 win over Washington.
The Lakers bench erupted as one, with players sprinting in every direction and leaping above each other to be the first to congratulate Stephenson, who finished with seven points, 10 rebounds and five assists. “I told Lance [to] make ‘em dance early in the season, and he did that tonight,” LeBron James told NBA on TNT “I guess only Lance would make a play like that on our team. It was great [that] it went in and obviously you guys saw the bench’s reaction to it.”
That, however, hasn’t changed LeBron’s approach. The four-time MVP finished with 23 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds.
