Crawford Scores Winning Shot For Lakers In S.L.
LAS VEGAS (CBS) ―
The Lakers first pick Joe Crawford has been making a strong case in making the team for L.A. in the upcoming season.
The Kentucky rookie scored the game-winning basket with 2.9 seconds left to beat the Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves, 95-93, at the Summer League in Las Vegas.
"It just felt good. We were struggling, but I got off to a great start in the second half and I couldn't buy a bucket – but then I just focused in and believed I could do it, and I did," said Crawford, who played collegiately at Kentucky.
The Kentucky star scored 10 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists as Coby Karl scored 14, respectively
Nik Caner-Medley from Maryland scored a game-high 19 points for the Lakers.
