The Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors gave one of the best games in recent years in the NBA with the purple and gold taking the victory in the final seconds of the 2nd overtime of the contest.

Stephen Curry scored a 3-point dagger that gave the Warriors the lead of the game with only 4 seconds left on the clock to end the game, most people thought that things were finished for the purple and gold, but LeBron James had another plan.

James took the ball, drove to the rim, and received a foul from Draymond Green to then scored the two free throws and finally took the win for his team. LeBron talked through that final possession and how he was able to get it done:

“I don’t predetermine anything I do on the floor. Got a pretty good look in the first OT on one of my patented shots going left, a little floater with the right hand, rimmed in, and went out. I was able to get a little angle in the second OT and I was able to drive, took the Eurostep back to the right hand and get the call on Draymond, and made the free throws.”

The Lakers won thanks to their team effort and big plays in clutch time

"You go out there and you give everything that you got into the game just hoping that you can make plays. Then you hope that the plays that you make come in a winning fashion. So it’s just a good feeling to be able to win a game like this, to start off the road trip like this against a team that’s been playing extremely well too at home… It’s two teams that’s just trying to get back to winning ways so it was a good win for us.”
