La Mirada~In front of its largest crowd of the season, the La Mirada boys basketball team had an incredible victory Wednesday night.
With its playoff lives on the line, the Mats were down 51-45 with a little under three minute left in the game.
The Matadores (13-13, 6-4), then reeled off the last 10 points of the game in beating arch rival and co-Suburban League champ, Mayfair 55-51, handing the Monsoons only their second loss of the year.
Conner Gillett scored 24, Michael Davis added nine and Josh Siemens had eight, including two key free-throws and a short jumper at the end, to ice the game for the Mats.

Lakewood~Whew! It's a good thing basketball games only have four quarters.
Despite being outscored 33-21 in the second half, and being ahead by as many as 16 points, the La Mirada boys basketball team barely hung on Monday night, beating Artesia 52-48- keeping their playoff hopes alive.
Conner Gillett iced the game with two important free-throws with 0.8 seconds left in the game-despite missing two seconds earlier.
At the start of the fourth quarter La Mirada led 40-29, but despite leading the entire game, the momentum seemed to be shifting to Artesia.
What an understatement.
