Dennis Schroder and LeBron James were forced to play three straight overtime games with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Against the Oklahoma City Thunder (twice) and the Detroit Pistons, the Lakers needed the extra period to seal the deal.
“Dennis Schroder says LeBron James liked playing in three straight overtime games in a row,” Ryan Ward of Lakers Daily reports.
James played 40+ minutes in all three games, as the Lakers (20-6) extended their winning streak to six games.
This was the first time since 1991 that the Lakers played three straight overtime games.
