Darvin Ham admits he could have ‘done a better job’ with timeouts late vs. Celtics

In the wake of the Lakers blowing Tuesday’s contest against the Celtics, there was plenty of regret and second-guessing. Anthony Davis rued on his missed layups that could have potentially sealed the game afterward while Darvin Ham had something else he admitted fault on.

In the closing seconds of regulation following Jayson Tatum’s game-tying jumper, Ham elected not to use the final timeout that he had. The result was a contested, low-percentage shot from LeBron James that never looked like it had a chance to go in. It was a moment that, in hindsight, Ham would like to have back.
