Kobe Bryant nailed a three-pointer to cap an amazing comeback by the Los Angeles Laker last Friday over the Miami Heat, 108-107.
The Lakers were trailing by four points with four seconds remaining. The possession changed hands and Derek Fisher made a three-point basket with 3.9 seconds remaining. Dwayne Wade was fouled and he converted on one of two free throws.
The Lakers then called a timeout and designed a play for Bryant. And the reigning NBA finals MVP did not disappoint as he threw up a forced three-point attempt. The shot hit the backboard and went in the basket.
Bryant scored 17 points in the fourth quarter, and 33 for the whole game. Pau Gasol made 22 for the Lakers who avoided losing for the third time at home.
Miami was led by Dwayne Wade, who had 26 points.
