The Los Angeles Lakers looked like they were going to lose to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night when something very familiar happened—LeBron James took over and led his team to a stunning comeback victory. 

James had a whopping 19 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Lakers back from a 21-point deficit to pick up a 116–112 victory that won’t soon be forgotten. 

Making the victory even more special is that it was the biggest fourth-quarter comeback in James’s legendary, 21-year NBA career. He outscored the Clippers in the final frame, 19-16, and hit five of the eight three-pointers he attempted. 

James was pumped after the win:
