When LeBron turned and charged toward the basket, Williams suddenly slipped off the bench.
This caused LeBron to lose his balance momentarily, but he, being the technologically advanced LeBron, managed to take the shot despite the imbalance.
Before the ball reached its apex, Conningham's figure appeared airborne.
"Bang!"
A straightforward board-stapling block.
In fact, Conningham had already been closing in when LeBron was backing down.
He merely trotted into LeBron's blind spot, and since LeBron wanted desperately to get this shot, Conningham seized the opportunity.
LeBron stood up and gestured to the referee that Williams had grabbed him earlier, but Williams received Conningham's long pass and quickly scored on a fast-break layup.
Hansen and West leaped in front of LeBron, simultaneously jumping up to cheer for Williams with their towels.
34 to 30.
Scott subbed LeBron in, only for the Lakers to fall behind further!
