The Los Angeles Lakers caught a big break in a win over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday when officials granted LeBron James a timeout on a loose ball at a critical juncture of the game.

The win eliminated the Suns from the NBA's in-season tournament and secured a spot in the semifinals for the Lakers, who advance to face the New Orleans Pelicans in Las Vegas on Thursday.
