In the closing minutes of the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets, the latter seemed to be on the road to victory. She led and looked better than her opponent. But the first-ranked in the West had other plans; She bit the difference, taking the lead in the decisive moments and in a situation of 121: 121, also scored a three-pointer, 0.4 seconds to go.

This achievement was signed by Kyle Kozma, who recorded a great game of 25 points, including the winning three. The forward who started in the top five and played 33 minutes, got the ball in the corner after a nice drill, with the giant bull in front of him. He was not really excited, released the ball, found the net and set the game score - 121: 124, which was the Lakers' first win after three consecutive losses.

"I think I would have taken that shot even if Jesus had kept me," Kozma said excitedly at the end. "It didn't really matter to me who kept me. I got the ball in good condition, when I'm relatively free. It was an exercise we worked on in training, and I'm glad the coach believed in me. He just called my number and it paid off."
