The Suns took a 114-113 lead with 12.2 seconds remaining. This was after Dillon Brooks played the hero role by nailing a huge three-pointer. He instantly switched to his normal villain role by bumping into LeBron, earning a technical foul.

LeBron would miss the technical, but hit two of the next three free throws to give LA the victory. King James finished with 26 points on 8-17 shooting. Luka Doncic led the Lakers with 29 points, but shot just 7-25 from the field.
