LeBron James had turned an ankle, struggled through an afternoon of poor shooting, and gotten the bad end of a couple late calls, but none of that mattered with the game tied, the ball in his hands and 1.5 seconds remaining.
Derrick Rose tied things for the Bulls seconds earlier and appeared to be the hero once again, but after getting blocked on a drive, James caught an inbound with just over a second left and canned a fading jumper over Jimmy Butler.
The series now returns to Cleveland tied 2-2.
