A game that once felt like an utter disappointment turned into one of the best comebacks of the season, as your Los Angeles Lakers overcame a 21-point fourth quarter deficit to defeat the LA Clippers 116-112. 

A 39-16 fourth quarter scoring differential was piloted by LeBron James, who put up 19 of his 34 points including five of his seven three-point shots in the period. 

He also played excellent defense on Kawhi Leonard, who missed a game-tying shot opportunity as time nearly expired. 

Aside from James, every starter was in double figures, with Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell, and Rui Hachimura adding 20 points, 18 points, and 17 points, respectively, with all of them having key plays in the final couple of minutes to complete the comeback.
