Trailing by one point with only a few seconds left after blowing a six-point lead in the final 1:44, the Lakers managed to secure a victory in Indianapolis thanks to a buzzer-beating shot by LeBron James.
LeBron James faced a tough night on the court, struggling to find his rhythm as he opened the game with a disappointing 0-of-6 shooting performance.
By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, the pressure intensified, and his remarkable 18-year streak of scoring in double digits appeared to be in jeopardy.
Despite the challenges, LeBron once again proved why he remains a force to be reckoned with. With the Lakers locked in a nail-biting battle against Indiana, it all came down to the final moments.
When the game was on the line, LeBron was exactly where he needed to be, securing a buzzer-beating tip-in that sealed a thrilling 120-119 victory for Los Angeles.
James tipped in a missed attempt from Luka Doncic, getting the ball off just in time before the final buzzer, giving the Lakers a 120-119 win.
This marked the eighth buzzer-beater of James’ regular-season career.
Despite a lackluster performance for most of the game — scoring just 13 points on 4-of-12 shooting along with 13 rebounds and 7 assists — James came alive in the fourth quarter, adding 10 points to keep his streak of 1,283 consecutive double-digit scoring games intact.
