The Los Angeles Lakers were on the verge of losing to the Atlanta Hawks as LeBron James missed two free throws to keep their deficit at one, but the king wouldn't rest.

Kyle Kuzma grabbed a game-saving offensive rebound off the second miss and came up empty with the short hook shot, but James cleaned up the mess, righting his wrong with a go-ahead putback slam to put the Lakers up 107-106.

Hawks rookie Trae Young had an opportunity to put Atlanta ahead, but he couldn't shoot over the outstretched arms of Tyson Chandler, who clinched the win with a block.

James finished with 26 points, seven boards, and four assists as the Lakers improved to 7-6 on the season.
