LOS ANGELES -- Julius Randle hit a tie-breaking shot in the final 1.9 seconds of overtime to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a thrilling 102-100 victory over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night at the Staples Center.
Randle ended up with 13 points and 14 rebounds, but it was Jordan Clarkson who topscored for the Lakers with 26 markers and six assists. D'Angelo Russell chipped in 16.
The Lakers, who remained in the bottom of the Western Conference with a 16-59 record, won despite making only 37 of 102 field goals, a poor 36.3 percent clip. Miami, which fell to 43-31, converted 41 of 86 shots but went only 3 of 17 from 3-point range.
Dwyane Wade led the Heat with 26 points and 10 assists while Luol Deng registered 22 and 11 boards. Hassan Whiteside had a monster night off the bench with 18 points and 17 rebounds.
The Lakers host the Boston Celtics on Sunday night at the Staples Center while the Heat visit the Kings at the Sleep Train Arena on Friday night.
