Heat forward LeBron James hit a game-winning, buzzer-beating lay-up in overtime to defeat the Pacers 103-102 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.
“I knew I had time,” James said. “Coach drew up a good play. I told myself I was going to attack. I had two-plus seconds to get to the rim and I was able to convert the last one.”
The play unfolded out of an inbounds play that began with just 2.2 seconds remaining on the clock. James’ lay-up went through just as time expired.
“I knew I got the ball up on the backboard with enough time,” he said. “It was a great game for us. Two teams fought hard and we were able to make one more play than they made.”
The 2013 MVP finished with 30 points (on 12-for-24 shooting), 10 rebounds and 10 assists in 47 minutes.
