In a dramatic NBA G League matchup at the UCLA Health Training Center on December 13, 2025, the Rip City Remix overcame a persistent deficit to stun the South Bay Lakers, pulling off a 122–116 victory after trailing for the bulk of the contest.
The Lakers jumped out quickly, building an early edge and maintaining control through the first half. South Bay led by six in the opening quarter, energized by a packed home crowd and strong offensive contributions from their rotation. Despite consistent pressure from Rip City, the Lakers held the lead through much of the game — until a late-game surge flipped the script in dramatic fashion.
Rip City, behind a balanced scoring attack and gritty defense, chipped away at the Lakers’ advantage throughout the second half. The comeback was highlighted by clutch baskets in the fourth quarter, culminating in Rip City taking the lead and pulling ahead for good in the final minutes. The Remix finished with 122 points to South Bay’s 116, showcasing resilience and teamwork in a tough road win.
South Bay’s roster featured Bronny James Jr., the Lakers’ rookie guard and son of NBA superstar LeBron James, who was assigned to the G League affiliate this season. James has split time between the NBA Lakers and the South Bay Lakers throughout the season as part of his development assignment, which has been part of the team’s plan since his transition to professional basketball.
The loss drops the South Bay Lakers in the G League Showcase Cup standings, while the Rip City Remix pick up a big road victory to boost morale as they continue their campaign. The comeback win underscores the competitive parity in the G League and the depth of talent across both teams.
Fans at UCLA Health Training Center witnessed a roller-coaster of energy, momentum swings, and late-game heroics — a true embodiment of the grit and hustle that defines G League basketball.
