LeBron James made a dramatic buzzer-beating tip-in, concluding a 10-point effort in a fourth-quarter comeback, allowing the Los Angeles Lakers to edge past the Indiana Pacers with a score of 120-119.

James now extends his record of consecutive games scoring ten or more points to an impressive 1,283, having struggled early on with just three points from 0-for-6 shooting through the first three quarters. He ultimately wrapped up the match with 13 points, 13 rebounds, and seven assists.

His buzzer-beater marks the eighth of his NBA career and his first since joining the Lakers, tying him with Joe Johnson and Kobe Bryant for the second-most in league history, trailing only Michael Jordan.

In the contest, Luka Doncic shined with 34 points, along with seven rebounds and seven assists. Austin Reaves contributed 24 points, and the Lakers halted a three-game losing streak while securing a tie with Memphis for the fourth seed in the Western Conference.

On the other hand, Bennedict Mathurin led Indiana with 23 points, while Tyrese Haliburton registered a season-high 18 assists alongside 16 points, giving Indiana a momentary 119-118 lead late in the game.

Despite leading throughout the second and third quarters, the Lakers found themselves challenged when Indiana executed a 7-0 run leading to their last-minute lead. However, after missed opportunities from both teams, James capitalized to secure the win with his final shot.

The Lakers are set to continue their four-game trip with a matchup against Chicago on Thursday, while the Pacers will visit Washington for their next game.
