Paul George led a remarkable comeback as the Los Angeles Clippers overturned a 26-point deficit to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 120-118 in the NBA.
George scored 23 points in the fourth quarter, including the go-ahead basket with seven seconds remaining, and then made a crucial block just before the buzzer.
He finished with 39 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists.
James Harden added 22 points, while Ivica Zubac, Terance Mann and Norman Powell had 14 points apiece.
"It was a collective team win," George said. "It couldn't have happened without those guys chipping in."
Clippers now have a chance of securing the fourth seed in the Western Conference. They improved to 50-28 to remain fourth ahead of the fifth-placed Dallas Mavericks, who are 48-30.
The Mavericks clinched their third straight victory, 147-136 over the Houston Rockets in overtime.
Kyrie Irving led the way with 48 points.
