The Lakers prevailed over the Heat 120-117 at Staples Center on Wednesday night in a heart-stopping overtime affair that had more twists and turns than a true crime podcast.
Russell Westbrook may have had some questionable moments throughout the night, but he ultimately stole the show with 25 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists, while Malik Monk was exceptional with 27 points and six rebounds on 10-13 shooting.
Here are the best reactions from around the Twittersphere:
