US EditionLakers edge Pacers on LeBron James’ buzzer-beating tip-in to end skid
- LeBron James, age 40, secured a 120-119 victory for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday with a buzzer-beating tip-in of a Luka Doncic missed shot, ending the Lakers' losing streak.
- The Lakers, with a 44-28 record, desperately needed a win after losing seven of their previous ten games and were in danger of losing their fourth straight game.
- Despite going 0 for 6 from the field in the first three quarters and finishing with 13 points and 7 assists, James scored 10 of his points in the fourth quarter, including the game-winning basket, which is tied for the second-most game-winning buckets in league history with Kobe Bryant and Joe Johnson.
- After the game, James stated, "I was just trying to read the ball off the rim," and Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, who led his team with 16 points and a season-high 18 assists, said to James, "It's the first time I've ever been walked off in the NBA."
- The Lakers' victory, in which Austin Reaves contributed 24 points, moved them into a tie with Memphis for fourth place in the Western Conference, while the team prepares to face the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, the second night of a back-to-back and the third game of a four-game trip.
