Rondo’s Clutch Floater: During this game the Kings had a 27 point lead in the second half, but the Lakers went on a terror and erased it. With under 30 seconds left in the game, the Lakers were leading 115-114 and the Kings were facing a must-score possession. This caused Rajon Rondo to drive down to the basket and calmly score a running floater with 20 seconds left in the game (video).

The made shot by Rondo ended up being the game-winning bucket sealing the win for Sacramento, as the Lakers were unable to score in their last two possessions.
