With about 3.4 seconds left on the clock, the Lakers found themselves down two points with the ball. Jodie Meeks inbounded from the sideline to Steve Blake coming off a double screen from Pau Gasol and Steve Nash. Blake was freed by the screen and caught the ball on the left wing, faced up and let a three fly over the out stretched arms of Howard, who rotated out to Blake just a half-second late.
