Celtics pull out wild OT win after exchanging 4th-quarter collapses with Lakers

For a few minutes, it looked like the Los Angeles Lakers were getting the best win of their season. Then the Boston Celtics woke back up.

In one of the wildest NBA games of the season, the Celtics defeated the Lakers 122-118 in overtime on Tuesday. It shouldn't have been a very notable game considering Boston was up 20 points midway through the third quarter, and yet it was thanks to LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

The Lakers' twin stars led their team on a 32-5 run between the third and fourth quarters to take a double-digit lead with only a few minutes remaining.
