One of the most classic matchups that take place every year is the Los Angeles Lakers going up against the Boston Celtics. Years of rivalry and competitiveness between these two teams always draw extra attention and a full-packed stadium. The Celtics, even though are the number one team in the Eastern Conference, are on a three-game losing streak. Whereas the Lakers are still trying to put together a string of winning games in order to be considered a threat in the West. 

Both teams were a couple of men short. One good news is that the Los Angeles Lakers finally had Anthony Davis back in their lineup. Boston however, was still playing without their Defensive Player of the Year, Marcus Smart. 

LeBron James could not believe what Beverley did

The game was breathtaking throughout the four quarters of the game as it reached overtime. But what caught everyone off guard was Patrick Beverley’s putback dunk during the final seconds of the game.
