Young made two 3-pointers around a Hill basket as an 8-2 run brought the Lakers within three, 105-102, with 16.7 seconds left on the clock. Sessions then found a wide open Pachulia under the hoop for an easy layup to push the differential to five.

Kent Bazemore responded with a 3-pointer to bring the Lakers within 107-105 with two seconds left to play, and Sessions split a pair from the line for the final points of the tilt.
