Bogdan Bogdanovic drained a 27-footer as time expired to complete the comeback for the Kings who trailed by 15 points with under seven minutes to play.

After Brandon Ingram hit one of two free throws to put the Lakers up 116-114, Bogdanovic caught the inbounds pass and hit a tough contested shot over Tyson Chandler for the win.

It was the 12th game-winning shot with less than a second remaining this season. Here are all of them.

Bogdan Bogdanovic

Date: December 27

Result: Kings def. Lakers, 117-116

Bogdanovic... from downtown!


Stephen Curry

Date: December 23

Result: Warriors def. Clippers, 129-127

Who says Curry can only shoot? With the score tied late, Curry got all the way to the cup for the game-winning deuce.


Larry Nance Jr.

Date: December 18

Result: Cavaliers def. Pacers, 92-91

After Rodney Hood miss a pull-up jumper with the Cavaliers down one, Nance Jr. swooped it for the game-winning tip at the horn.


Jeremy Lamb

Date: December 12

Result: Hornets def. Pistons, 108-106

Kemba Walker isn't the only Hornets player capable of hitting daggers. With a double team on the way, Walker found Lamb who buried the game-winning shot.


Jamal Crawford

Date: November 23

Result: Suns def. Bucks, 116-114

Jamal Crawford's been around the block for nearly two decades and if one thing is for certain, it's this: he gets buckets. One-on-one with a patended crossover, J-Smoove won it in Milwaukee.

Danny Green

Date: November 20

Result: Raptors def. Magic, 93-91

It's been quite the maiden voyage in Toronto for Danny Green who has fit in seamlessly. There's perhaps been no moment better than this shot back in November to sink the Magic.

Jimmy Butler

Date: November 17

Result: 76ers def. Hornets, 122-119

Perhaps the most memorable shot of the year. In just his third game with the 76ers, Butler's shot at the end of overtime helped overcome a masterful 60-point performance by Kemba Walker.


Reggie Bullock

Date: November 14

Result: Pistons def. Raptors 106-104

The Pistons railled from a double digit deficit in the fourth quarter, capped with Reggie Bullock's layup on an out of bounds play as time expired.

Evan Fournier

Date: November 5, 2018

Result: Magic def. Cavaliers, 102-100

This time, the Magic were on the right end of a buzzer beater at home from the top of the key against the Cavaliers.

Paul Millsap

Date: October 31

Result: Nuggets def. Bulls, 108-107

A heads up veteran play from Millsap who got position within the vicinity of three Bulls players in order to convert the game-winning put-back at the buzzer.

Jonas Jerebko

Date: October 19

Result: Warriors def. Jazz, 124-123

In the Warriors second game of the season, Jonas Jerebko made quite a strong impression as he tipped in a miss by Kevin Durant at the buzzer for a wildly entertaining win on the road in Utah.

 

Kelly Olynyk

Date: October 18

Result: Heat def. Wizards, 113-112

The first game winner of the year belonged to Kelly Olynyk who delivered the goods on a put-back on the third day of the regular season.
