Former Michigan State basketball star Max Christie hit a pair of big buckets late to help the Los Angeles Lakers top the Denver Nuggets on Friday.
Christie finished the game with just six points but his two three-point shots in the four quarter helped the Lakers build a lead they’d not surrender. Christie played 16 minutes in the game.
