In a statement game for the Los Angeles Lakers against their rival, the Clippers, LeBron James single-handedly took over in the final seconds and delivered not just the game-winning bucket but some stifling defense on both Kawhi Leonard AND Paul George to force a bad shot.
In case you missed the game-winner: with under 20 seconds to go, James brought up the ball, took a long jumper that was contested and missed. But with five — FIVE — Clippers around the hoop looking for the rebound, he went right in, grabbed the board and tipped it back in.
Here’s the original angle from the television broadcast:
