The next morning, news of Indiana's big victory over the Lakers spread all over the United States.
Many media outlets were surprised by this.
The Pacers defeating the Lakers wasn't anything too significant.
The Pacers' current record had them sitting second in the Eastern Conference, and had Su Wan not been suspended and missed six games, it was very likely that their late-season momentum would have secured them the first place in both the Eastern Conference and the entire league.
What was there to fuss about a team like that beating the seventh-placed team in the Western Conference?
But they had expected the game to feature Kobe scoring high and the Pacers taking the victory.
This would have been very in keeping with the way the Lakers had been losing all season.
They were rarely defeated by a huge margin.
But the Lakers ended up losing by a full 25 points.
The fourth quarter turned into "garbage time."
Do you know what kind of situation leads to "garbage time?"
