Lakers look to overcome 4th-quarter woes with season on the line

MINNEAPOLIS — When the Lakers traded for Luka Doncic in early February, a consensus around the league was how much the Lakers would benefit from having two all-time decision-makers in Doncic and LeBron James on the court together, especially late in games.

In the game’s most precarious moments, James and Doncic would find ways to make sure the Lakers were the team that got over the hump. And that doesn’t even account for the scoring/playmaking that Austin Reaves brings to the table.
