The South Bay Lakers played their penultimate game of this season on Friday, and they faced the Iowa Wolves, a team that came into Friday with the worst regular-season record in the G League's Western Conference.
Bronny James, who had 39 points on Monday against the Santa Cruz Warriors, didn't play on Friday, but South Bay's other guards still delivered under pressure.
This game went back and forth throughout. The Wolves got out to a 21-9 lead midway through the first quarter, but South Bay trimmed that deficit and ended the quarter down by just two points. It built a 12-point lead late in the third period, and although the Wolves fought back, it was able to hold them off for a 127-123 win.
Undrafted rookie guard Quincy Olivari was the best player on the floor with a triple-double of 25 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, and he also blocked two shots.
Fellow starting guard Grayson Murphy contributed 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting, 12 assists and seven rebounds, and forward Stanley Johnson added 19 points, five rebounds, three steals, two assists and one block.
These two teams will face off again on Saturday in South Bay's final game of this season.
