Like it should've been, the LA Lakers got two victories at home in the Crypto.com Arena. The Lakers Nation was avid to see live in LA a playoff game since 2013, as 2020 was in the middle of the COVID pandemic, and no public was allowed.

The fans played their game having one of the best atmospheres an NBA arena has seen, and the players were inspired by the like Austin Reaves has said, and now the Lakers superstar LeBron James also said.

James said in the post-game presser, "The fans once again were top-notch for a second consecutive game." LeBron spoke on the emotion following his huge bucket in overtime and his 20/20 performance in Game 4.

LeBron scored the game-tying layup that took it to overtime, and then the team won in the extra five minutes of playtime to get the series lead to 3-1.

D'Angelo Russell's 3-pointer made a comeback

D'Angelo Russell had disappointed the fans at the playoffs as more was expected from him. Still, on Monday, in the final quarter, he hit three consecutive 3-pointers that helped the team make a comeback and tied in the regular time to win it in overtime.
