Blazers end Lakers' wild day with buzzer-beater. MORE:
LOS ANGELES — After Magic Johnson shockingly quit his job as the Lakers' president of basketball operations right before the game, the Lakers certainly didn't play like a franchise in turmoil.Harkless hit a corner 3-pointer at the buzzer, and the Trail Blazers secured home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs with a 104-101 victory Tuesday night after Johnson's abrupt resignation.
"Mo had been scoring and hitting shots the whole quarter," said Lillard, who finished with 20 points and eight assists."He's had a lot of moments when he came up big for us. The way he rose up and took that shot showed a lot of confidence, and you see what the result was." Most of the Lakers heard about Johnson's resignation during warmups or in the locker room before the game. While LeBron James and the Lakers' other injured players won't address the decision until Wednesday, the healthy Lakers were mostly just surprised.
