Lakers Highlights: LA Beats Washington In OT Thriller As LeBron James Recreates Historic Block

"BLOCKED BY JAMES!"

On the second night of a back-to-back, the Lakers have defeated the Wizards in overtime 134-131. 

It wasn't exactly a game to be proud of, as Washington is an abominable 9-50, but a win is a win nonetheless as the Lakers improve to 33-28. 

Behind 40 points and 15 rebounds from Anthony Davis, as well as 31 points and nine assists from LeBron James, LA overcame arguably their worst defensive performance of the season to avoid embarrassment on their home floor. LA is now running hot, sitting at 9-3 for the month of February.

LA will square off with the reigning NBA champion and conference rival Denver Nuggets on Saturday.
