The Los Angeles Lakers have been quite the circus the past 24 or so hours. With the news surrounding rookie D’Angelo Russell and Nick Young, the men in purple and gold were finally able to get back on the floor last night, and even get a win.

The win included one of the funnier plays of the season (depending on who you ask), as backup guard Marcelo Huertas hid behind Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. As the Heat brought the ball up the floor, Huertas sprinted towards Goran Dragic, and stole the ball.

The steal came at a convenient time for the Lakers, who could have had their lead vanish early in the fourth quarter on that Miami Heat possession.

This was a nice turnaround for Huertas, as the last time the Lakers played the Heat this season, he made arguably one of the worst plays in the NBA this season, when he tried to shoot a three off of one foot, got stuffed, and then threw it behind his head anyways.
