After losing to the San Diego Clippers in the final seconds on Tuesday, the Coachella Valley Lakers headed east to Arizona to take on the Valley Suns on Thursday. They looked to be in trouble when they fell behind 61-41 with 1:19 left in the second quarter.
But the Lakers then turned things around rapidly. They scored 13 unanswered points to end the first half, and they then dominated the third quarter by scoring 31 points and holding the Suns to just nine points. That was enough for them to come away with a 108-99 victory, even though they shot just 38.6% from the field and 22.6% from 3-point range.
