Nicolas Batum led the charge as the Charlotte Hornets rallied back on Saturday night.
The shooting guard nailed a leaning 3-pointer to tie the game at 110 with less than a minute remaining, and scored a total of 10 points in the final 3:30, keeping the home team in the game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Frenchman's efforts helped the Hornets - who were down by seven with under three minutes remaining - force overtime, where Charlotte eventually fell 125-122. Batum finished with 24 points, eight assists, and six rebounds.
