There's Kehlani Walker that I want to see. I've always been a believer of let success be your guide, and when your shot is not falling for you, do something else. LeBron was thinking about diving. Instead, it's the wide open Austin Reeves. That was a good patience, though, by Thomas Bryant. Kuzma with the left hand. 9-7 Lakers with the early lead. LeBron trained down the track. They're stopping it. The Lakers took it out of the net and were gone. They are not a good transition team as Moritz hits. It was one of your keys. Wizards are poor in transition defense, and the Lakers are better in transition because they're not built to play the half court set as much as they're built to get out and run. Nice play there by LeBron on the inbounds play. He just went right around Kuzma. Stutter step that time by LeBron. Pulls up from midrange. He's got another bucket, LeBron. And LeBron already now has three baskets in five attempts. The scoop and the score by Denny Advia. Washington in the midst of a roadie here. They play a lot of road games here in the next few weeks as Advia hits from downtown. Just like that, it's back to one at the other end. Oh, there's Russ. Wow, what a pass. Yeah, he has been playing really good basketball off the bench for them. Max Christie from straight away. Downtown got another one. Kuzma, here he is. He's got a huge arsenal and he throws it to Gafford who's in the attacking zone. Kicked up there by Lonnie. Lonnie trying to play a little defense. The spin and kiss off the glass for Kyle Kuzma. And here's Lonnie, the fourth. Gets it right back. Here's Kuzma at the other end. Blocked by Max. Max was there. Kisper blocked by Russ. Russ now with five. With four. The shot clock is off. Ooh, he nearly dropped it. It goes all the way. Blocked. Goaltending, that's goaltending. 0.7. Left wing side. Bounce to the trailer. Gafford, look out. Anytime he goes up, it's going to get thrown down with authority. Bruder attacking. Damien, he's going to throw it down. LeBron. Nobody really picked him up. LeBron abated right inside to lay it up and in with the left hand. There's Will Barton from the outside and he hits the three. Will Barton hasn't seen a lot of time. Up in the jam. Beautifully done. Damien. High dribble for LeBron. He's tapped to the floor. Back and forth he goes. Pull up on Gibson. Got it. It's all about LeBron the last couple of times. Down the floor. Kuzma bodies up. Damien Jones well and scores. Knocked Damien Jones completely off the floor. Another lob to Damien. Here comes Austin. Into the lane. Drive. Kick. Bruder. Goes between two players. Another lob. Bradley Beal wandering in. Now Beal circles back and scores. Bradley's got a shot if he wants it. He's drawn. Thomas Bryant out. Oh nice little step back by Beal. Beautiful stuff for Bradley Beal. Here they come four on three. LeBron. To Thomas Brooks. For the Lakers it's LeBron. Ronnie the fourth. Knock it down. Bradley Beal is an 87 percenter. Peer shooter. Russ attacks the rim with vengeance. Lakers steal it. Four on one. Kuzma will catch and shoot. Rainbow is good for Kuz. And the Lakers come right back. LeBron James. Lonnie. One. Two. Put it up and in. Morris. That's a good bounce pass though by Porzingis. Yes it was. Very nice. LT is still the professional of professionals. So congrats to LT and he's not going anywhere. Washington scores. And they're going to get an and one out of it. Morris. Obdia from the outside. Got it. Time out. Yeah time out. Danny Obdia. Bounce to LeBron. Good dish. Oh and LeBron throws it down with two hands. Here's LeBron. Oh once again. Beck loves it. Thomas Bryant. Go ahead and finish it. With a little bit of quickness and speed is Beal who pulls up from the elbow. That hits it. Here's Beal. Comes around the other end. Porzingis makes sure he's shooting from three. And that time it's pure. Taken by Bryant. Here's LeBron. Play. Skype. Nice fast break. Here goes LeBron all the way. Hangs in the air and scores. Nice touch. Enter to Porzingis. He's in very deep. He turns. He scores. And it's an and one. And Austin Reeves is coming up limping. Oh Bradley Beal. What a move. What a move by Bradley Beal. Russ kicks it out for Max Christie. Max. Press the button Max. Putting it out of Westbrook. Russ. Shovel pass to Lani. Lani the fourth and James. So far 37 for those two. Protect the rim. Damian Jones. Lani Walker all the way. Lays it up. Blocked. Rebound could be taken by Kuzma. Here they come. It's a two on nothing. That's why Kuzma's gonna finish. That's why you don't want a five-man break when you know there's a couple of guys on the defense just staying back. Kuzma, this could be a big bucket for them. It's a huge bucket for them. It's a two-point game. They could actually take the lead here. Porzingis could give it to him. And he does. Christophe Porzingis. Takes once. Shoots. Scores. It's all about the Wizards right now. Now Porzingis with 13 in the quarter. And Russ trying to slam it right on top of him. Barton's open. Lakers are a little tardy. It's gonna be taken now by Westbrook. Russ. Down the middle he goes. Bounce. Walker! Lakeshore fans, here we go. Lakers are down by one. And right now at least, they're gonna have to do it without Mr. Forecorder. Now that is Austin Reeves. All kinds of time in the fourth quarter, but right now unavailable with the ankle as Kispert finally gets in the game and hits the three. And they save it right to him, which means an easy two at the end. Kuzma has a double-double, an impressive one. 17 and 14 boards for Kuzma. They get 19 and 14 with the lay-in. Yeah, well you guys saw the good sign. Obviously it says returning to the bench. And you got a thumbs up in terms of looking over at Darvin Hammond saying I'm ready to go back in. LeBron, Schroeder, in rhythm. Steps into the three! Stepped right into the three. With Will Barton out on him, so LeBron will still cast on. He's- Fingers. Has the advantage over Russ, and he took great advantage of it. And here is Kuzma. Got it! Timeout Lakers. Thiel, the long effort to finish. Oh, good move by Dennis Hickory. Just a little bit of space. Little hot potato, Christy, Schroeder. Corner, Bryant! They know what it's all about! Porzingis can't throw it down! Schroeder with speed. Here is LeBron! Count it! LeBron, after Schroeder, wants to try to get around Porzingis. Same play. Bryant, yes! Same play. Yes, sir! Here comes LeBron all the way. Blocked! Boy, he just showed Gafford the basketball. LeBron bumps into Porzingis! That was a little bit better, wasn't it? Yeah, he got contact. Yep. Thiel now for three, in and out. And Gafford scores. Nobody there. Nobody boxed him out. Good one all the way, count it, it goes! Three-point possibility. Austin gets it. Oh, the little runner in the lane! Crowd urges defense. Bradley Thiel all the way, throw it up. That was a loud attempt, but Gafford catches it in style. Nervous times. Yes, it is. Reeves just scored in there a second ago! He's taking advantage of Porzingis. They're running it through Thiel. He's going up against the rookie. Over a couple of lakers. He is just gobbling them up. LeBron for three! Didn't it? Thiel trying to work for a two-point shot. We are tied at 1-15. LeBron down the middle! Going to leave it for Porzingis. Running it for Bradley Thiel. Thiel attacks the basket! He gets fouled. Perfect. They're going to run up a double, and it's taken away! It's now the Lakers get it back! Here's LeBron! Brady! Lakers lead on the cruise line! Twins slam home the winner!
