Inamin ni Lebron James na nakatulong sa kanila ang magandang depensa upang matalo ang Minnesota Timberwolves at makuha ang 7th seed sa NBA Playoffs nitong Wednesday, sa LA Lakers Arena.
Ayon kay Lebron, alam nila sa sarili nila na sila ang number 1 team pagdating sa depensa kung kaya’t ginamit nila ito upang maselyado ang laro at maka-abante sa playoffs.
“We are a scrappy team, Listen, at the end of the day, it’s a 48-minute game and you have to, no matter whether you’re up or down or whatever — in the third quarter I think we were down 68-53 at one point — we know we’re one of the best defensive teams in the league. That’s where we hang our hats. In order for us to get into games, we have to hang our hats on what we’re great at and that’s on the defensive side and we did that.” Saad ni King James.
Natapos ang laro 108-102 sa isang overtime game. Nanguna para sa Lakers si James na nagtala ng 30 points.
Sa ngayon ay pinaghahandaan nila ang first round ng playoffs kung saan ay makakaharap nila ang Memphis Grizzlies sa isang best of 7 game series.
