On a night when Kobe Bryant was supposed to make history, Nick Young stole the show, hitting a go-ahead three-pointer with 7.4 seconds left in overtime to propel the Los Angeles Lakers to a 112-110 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in the AT&T Center on Friday night.
The Lakers were less than a minute from pulling off arguably their best win of the season in regulation.
After trying and failing to overtake Los Angeles for much of the second half, the Spurs mounted a late charge. Manu Ginobili hit a three-pointer with 1:22 left in the fourth quarter to close the Lakers' lead to four points, 101-97. A little less than 40 seconds later, Danny Green capitalized on a Bryant turnover with another three to make it a one-point game, 101-100.
Zach Harper of CBSSports.com joked that Bryant was stealthily finding a way to prolong the game so as to allow himself more time to pass Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list:
