In a thrilling game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Toronto Raptors, the unthinkable finally happened. LeBron James’ historic 10-point scoring streak, which began in January 2007, came to an end tonight. However, according to teammate Rui Hachimura, who scored a game-winning, buzzer-beating shot off his assist, this might’ve been intentional.

“He said, it’s going to come to you,” James told Hachimura, according to the Japanese forward in the post-game interview. “I knew it was going to come to me. So I was ready. I had to imagine how we were going to shoot or whatever, but it was exactly what I felt.”

Here’s what happened in that crazy final possession: Austin Reaves passed the ball to James at the top of the key, and immediately drew a double-team, as the Raptors expected to see him take the final shot, leaving Hachimura open in the corner. Instead of driving or pulling up, James, knowing that any shot would put him above 10, instead passed to the forward in the corner, who knocked down the three to take the win.
