The Lakers star sinks the winning layup with 8 seconds left for a 101-100 win in a pre-Olympic exhibition game in London
LeBron James waves to the crowd after an exhibition basketball game between the United States and South Sudan on Saturday, July 20, 2024, at the o2 Arena in London. James’ layup with 8 seconds left was the go-ahead basket, and the U.S. Olympic team escaped with a 101-100 win over South Sudan on Saturday in London, rallying from a 16-point deficit to avoid what would have been a massive upset.
Marial Shayok led all scorers with 25 points for South Sudan and Jones had a triple-double — 15 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.JT Thor’s 3-pointer with 20 seconds left gave South Sudan a 100-99 lead, then the Americans called timeout and put the ball in James’ hands. He waited, waited, waited, then drove and laid it in with ease to put the U.S. back on top, and the Americans got the stop they needed at the end.
It should have been a mismatch, and for the first half, it was — just not in the way anyone would have expected.
