With 7:01 remaining in the fourth quarter on Thursday night, the Boston Celtics held a 113-86 lead against the Los Angeles Lakers. Head coach Frank Vogel called a timeout at this juncture to put in his end of the bench unit, a five-man lineup that consisted of Talen Horton-Tucker, Ben McLemore, Alfonzo McKinnie, Devontae Cacok and Kostas Antetokounmpo.
What happened next seemed nearly impossible, as the Lakers formed a furious comeback filled with McLemore threes and Horton-Tucker layups. They quickly closed the gap with an absurd 24-2 run over the next 5:43 of game time. This prompted Celtics head coach Brad Stevens to put in Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart.
