Avery Bradley hit a big three-pointer in crunch time and the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Toronto Raptors in overtime (128-123).
The Lakers ended a three-game losing streak and also snapped an 11-game skid on the road. The 17-time NBA champions improved to 30-40, but remained ninth in the West.
Afterwards, Bradley said it was a ‘great feeling’ to finally win on the road after 11 straight defeats. “It’s a great win, on to the next one,” he added, via Lakers Nation.

Avery Bradley had 14 points and four three-pointers in the contest (4/7). LeBron James (36 points) and Russell Westbrook (22 points) combined for 58 points for the winners.
Bradley and his teammates will have no time to rest, as they are in the middle of a four-game road trip in the East. They will now take on the Washington Wizards on Saturday and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.
Los Angeles will not avoid the play-in tournament, being 11.5 games below sixth-placed Denver Nuggets (42-29). As a result, they will need one win to reach the postseason and a second one to finish seventh on the table.
