“#LeBron James leads Lakers to OT win over Thunder<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 LeBron James hit the tying 3-pointer late in regulation and then broke up the Thunder\u2019s final possession in overtime to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to their sixth consecutive victory, 114-113 over Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

James had 25 points, seven assists and six rebounds for the defending NBA champions, who survived their third consecutive overtime game<\/a>. Montrezl Harrell scored 20 points, and Dennis Schr\u00f6der had 19 points and seven rebounds as the Lakers rallied back from another huge early deficit and again showed just enough late-game poise to win.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a deep team, a lot of weapons, a lot of ways we can hurt you down the stretch,\u201d Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. \u201cThey gave us all we could handle, especially in the first half of these games. But we kept grinding, stayed connected, believed in each other and grinded it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Al Horford scored 25 points and Kenrich Williams had a career-high 24 for the Thunder, who excelled at Staples Center despite having just eight available players for back-to-back narrow losses to the defending NBA champions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of our fight, the way we competed,\u201d Williams said after his third start. \u201cCoach always emphasizes playing the whole 48. We had a little extra time more than 48, but I\u2019m just proud of our guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

James hit a tying 3-pointer with 19.6 seconds to play in regulation, and Luguentz Dort missed a 3 at the buzzer. Wesley Matthews then hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer for the Lakers with 41.4 seconds left in overtime.<\/p>\n

After Dort made a driving layup, James airballed a long jumper to give Oklahoma City one last shot with 4.3 seconds to play \u2014 but James anticipated the Thunder\u2019s midcourt inbounds pass and knocked it into the backcourt, leaving the Thunder with no time to get a good shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s getting old, but I\u2019ve just got to commend them for their effort, their competitiveness,\u201d Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. \u201cOn a short turnaround, after a tough loss the other night, we compete for 53 minutes. These ones sting, because you want to come away with a win when you put that sort of effort forward. But we\u2019re focused on progress, and we continue to show progress.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both teams were significantly shorthanded. The Thunder played without leading scorer Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who has a nagging left knee injury.<\/p>\n

Anthony Davis missed his second straight game for the Lakers with an Achilles issue, and key reserve Alex Caruso also missed his second straight game with an injured hand.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, James played at least 40 minutes in three consecutive games for the first time in four years with no noticeable drop-off in play.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why he\u2019s probably going to be this year\u2019s MVP,\u201d Vogel said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
