The
Los Angeles Lakers power forward
Rui Hachimura produced
one of the moments on the night in the match against the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Lakers defeated their hometown rival in an absolute
classic with a score of 116-112 at the crypto.com Arena on Wednesday. The victory
was a special one, especially considering how the Lakers managed to overturn a
19-point deficit in the fourth quarter to secure an unlikely win.
The result was an important one for the Lakers who are having
a tough season and are currently placed on the ninth position in the Western
Conference with 32 wins and 28 defeats.
In a video that was posted on the social media platform X—previously
known as Twitter — during the first quarter of the match, Hachimura posterizes
Clippers’ guard Terance Mann in an impressive dunk.
The 26-year-old had a more than decent night for the winning
team as he ended up contributing 17 points to go with two rebounds.
For the winning team, the star of the was the veteran power
LeBron James who contributed 34 points to go with six rebounds and eight
assists.
