ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks earned their sixth straight win with Trae Young scoring a three-pointer with 7.4 seconds left in overtime to beat the Los Angeles Lakers 134-132 and overcome a LeBron James triple-double.

James, who had 39 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, saw his 31-foot three-pointer with 1.2 seconds left come out off the rim as the Lakers fell to a third straight loss.

The game ended tied at 119-119 in regulation after Young’s last-gasp three-point attempt was blocked by Max Christie.
