The celebration was short-lived.About a second later, Lakers star Anthony Davis fouled Wolves guard Mike Conley on a three-point attempt. Conley would sink all three free-throw shots to send the game into overtime.In a game that, at times, appeared to be out of reach for the Lakers, the waning seconds of the fourth was a microcosm of the team's performance in its lone Play-In game.Down 11 at the half, it took extra time and 45 minutes from LeBron James and 42 minutes from Davis for the Lakers to eek out a 108-102 win over the short-handed Timberwolves. James and Davis combined for 54 points, 25 rebounds and 10 assists. Karl-Anthony Towns led Minnesota with 24 points and 11 boards. The win propelled the Lakers out of the Play-In Tournament and secured them t...
