In overtime Clark deBoer (1) scored off a backhand play in alone to complete the comeback for the Lakers.
“We’ve done it all year. Our third period is always our best. We were able to regroup in the room, came out flying. Hats off to our guys they worked hard, an we deserved that one,” said Murray highlighting his teams resilience and ability to comeback in games.
As they look to stay undefeated, Murray described his teams mindset saying, “We just have to keep doing what we’re doing. We’ve battled all year through injuries, as long as we play our game we will be good.”
