Until the first half, the Lakers played a role. Leading 33-23 in the first quarter, the Lakers also led 26-24 in the second quarter, finishing the first half 59-47.

However, Phoenix launched its counterattack in the second half. At the start of the third quarter, Grace Allen scored 12 consecutive points, including two three-point shots, and tied the game instantly.

Since then, the game has turned into a mixed game. A seesaw game in which points were exchanged, and the Lakers entered the final fourth quarter with an 83-82 lead.

It was James who cracked the tight race. James opened the fourth quarter with a free throw score, and destroyed Phoenix's camp by playing hard both inside and outside. Phoenix countered with Kevin Durant scoring two three-point shots, but James ignored and launched an offensive.

The Lakers, who ran 105-101 on Austin Reeves' decisive 3-pointer 15 seconds before the end of the game, allowed Durant a layup shot, but Anthony Davis made a free throw to seal it.

For the Lakers, James was active with 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists, and Davis (27 points and 15 rebounds) and Reeves (20 points and 6 rebounds) helped.

For Phoenix, Kevin Durant (31 points and 7 rebounds), Devin Booker and Allen (21 points) struggled, but they cried at the last minute due to a lack of hindsight.

The Lakers' victory has completed the semifinals of the in-season tournament. The Lakers will play the New Orleans Pelicans in the semifinals on Saturday, and the Milwaukee Bucks, who defeated the New York Knicks in a previous game, will compete with the Indiana Pacers for a ticket to the finals on the same day. 스포츠토토
