LeBron James Hits Game-Winner to Propel Lakers Past Warriors in Play-In Game

The NBA could not have hoped for a better matchup in the first-ever play-in tournament than the Lakers against the Warriors. In the end, the game didn't disappoint.

The Lakers defeated the Warriors, 103-100, in a comeback win capped by a go-ahead 3-pointer by LeBron James in the game's final minute. James' winning shot came shortly after he fell to the ground following a foul at the rim by Draymond Green. James later said Green poked him in the eye and impacted his vision on the eventual go-ahead shot.

"I was literally seeing three rims out there," James said in a post-game interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols.
