LeBron James drove to the basket, side-stepped a defender, blatantly traveled, and to the amazement of everyone, missed a completely wide open layup.
The Cavs had to foul, and the Wizards hit two free throws to go up three with just under four seconds left.
But just as quickly as James nearly blew the game, he made up for it. With no timeouts, Kevin Love threw a Hail Mary down the court to find James. James caught the ball, and, smothered by Bradley Beal, stepped back and hit an impossible, turning, fade-away three off the glass to tie the game.

The Wizards were unable to score on a tip-in to win the game, and it went to overtime.
Though James fouled out early in overtime, the Cavs got big efforts from Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love down the stretch to hold off the surging Wizards. Though James couldn't help seal the deal, his miracle of a shot helped get the Cavs there.
