The Los Angeles Lakers beat the Utah Jazz on Sunday with a little help from Utah coach Will Hardy. The Lakers took a 105-102 lead on a LeBron James jumper with 41 seconds remaining before Walker Kesler cut the lead to one on the ensuing possession.

James then missed a three-pointer on the next trip down the floor that could have put the game away. Instead the Jazz had the ball in Collin Sexton's hands with a chance to win the game, which Sexton almost did by making a driving layup with less than two seconds remaining. Unfortunately, his coach had called a timeout which negated the would-be game-winner.
