THRILLING OT ENDING In Final Minutes of Lakers vs Knicks | January 31, 2023

Brunson's been the go-to guy. Crossover, Brunson! We're tied! 78. The Lakers have possession. They have not scored in over a minute. Shot clock is turned off. 15 seconds to play. James walked by Randle. 10 seconds. High screen, Davis. James, the bounce, Davis! Walked by Harden! Unless there was a three-second goal in there or a charge, Scott Foster has made the call. And guess who took the charge? Jalen Brunson. Seconds left. Nick's looking for the win. Randle drives in. Stops at three. We've got overtime. James against Randle. Screen from Davis. To the corner. Schroeder! On target for three! 121-118 L.A. 3% from downtown. Brunson. Little dance. The backhand on Westbrook. Shot clock at five. Randle dishes off of James out of bounds with 3.2. Third possession in which I will say Russ won that matchup on the post. Randle tried to play with him, get back to his left hand. Good help by AD. Good deflection by LeBron. Brunson, trigger man. Quickly, we'll get an open look. Side rim. Westbrook's got the board. Under three minutes to play in overtime. Westbrook curls in. Dishes for the Davis jam! Uncontested on a beautiful setup by Russell Westbrook. 123-118 L.A. Brunson swing. 12 to shoot. The Knicks are down by five. Randle had it knocked away in a turnover. Davis ends up on his backside. James taking his time. Just over two minutes to go in OT. LeBron James drives. Floats it up around the rim and off. Out of bounds. Knicks take over. Julius Randle is now six of 19 from the field. Two of nine from three-point range. A little bit more movement here offensively by the Knicks. Easy to guard when everybody is stagnant on the offensive end. Brunson drives. Empty side corner. Three players overturned the goaltending to a good block. It was blocked at its apex. Imminent possession was with the Lakers. The Lakers are inbound to ball in the backcourt with 24 on the shot clock. Brunson shaking base. Foul. Chance at a three-point play. 36.8 on the clock. This is the way you want to get three points. Put it on the deck attack. Anthony Davis wide reach. You're not going to get that steal right there from Jalen Brunson. Smart finish. Continuation with the play. Brunson has 36. Free throw puts him at 37. The Knicks are down by four. In for James. Get it ahead. Schroeder. 28 seconds left. Knicks not fouling. Lakers using time. 10 on the timer. James to the rim. Finish. Point four to play. Lakers pulling this one out. The possibilities with a healthy group. You add Hatchimore to the equation. What he can bring plus health. That brings optimism. Quickly will pad the numbers at the horn. The Lakers get to the finish line.
