That's awful by the Lakers. They don't have the luxury, record-wise, of doing what they just did.

LeBron just played a brutal 4th quarter, guarded by 6-3 rookie Nembhard, allowing Lakers to lose a 17-pt lead at home to an Indiana playing back to back. NO CLOSER GENE. He finally did make late layup to give LA a 2-pt lead. But Nembhard, LBJ's man, drained a buzzer 3 to win it.
