On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers built a double-digit lead against the Utah Jazz, but just as it seemed they were on their way to an easy win, their lead dissolved.
All of a sudden, they were on the verge of a very disappointing loss that could’ve all but cost them an opportunity to finish sixth in the Western Conference.
Luckily, LeBron James picked the right time to summon his competitive greatness.
He scored 14 points down the stretch, including the game-winning shot in overtime, and he finished with 37 points to ensure a 135-133 victory that kept L.A. within striking distance of bypassing the play-in tournament.
