The Los Angeles Lakers were finally able to snap their three-game losing streak as they took down the Indiana Pacers 120-119. However, it wasn’t an easy win. As the game was approaching its end, it looked like the Lakers were headed to their fourth consecutive loss. However, as he has done on many occasions throughout his two-decade-long career, LeBron James came to the rescue once again.<\/p>
In the final seven seconds of the game, with the Lakers trailing the Pacers 119-118, their newest signing, Luka Doncic, had the ball. He put up a floater that bounced off the rim as the clock ticked down to nearly one second. As the missed shot bounced around the rim, James positioned himself nearby and tapped it in.<\/p>
His game-winning shot helped him enter the NBA record books. LeBron James is now tied with Kobe Bryant and Joe Johnson for the second-most buzzer-beaters in league history, with eight. He trails only the legendary Michael Jordan, who holds the record with nine game-winning buzzer-beaters.<\/p>
