Los Angeles

When the Los Angeles Lakers blew a nine-point lead in 70 seconds late in regulation, they certainly seemed to be careening straight toward another loss in overtime.

That’s when the young, patchwork Lakers discovered a poise they’ve never had before — just in time to avoid a historic defeat.

Jordan Hill scored 26 points and forced the second overtime with a clutch jumper, and the Lakers snapped their nine-game losing streak in thrilling fashion with a 123-118 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night.

It felt good to have the win, but I wish it didn’t have to go two overtimes,” Clarkson said after his latest precocious performance. “I should have taken care of the ball and been more aggressive, but we got it done

Ellington hit two early shots in the second overtime to put the Lakers up for good. Los Angeles made five of its seven shots in the second OT while holding on.

  • Whether that is waking up early, training hard, eating properly, etc., your passion for the sport will make you go even when you want to quit.
  • Are you coachable?” Being coachable requires a set of characteristics and moral skills which allow the athlete to learn, be an effective listener and communicator in order to achieve their maximum potential.
  • Think about developing the 4C’s: character, communication, consistency.
