LeBron James is clutch, and fans do not need to look further than the Los Angeles Lakers' latest game against the Oklahoma City Thunder to see that.

With less than 20 seconds remaining in the game and the Lakers trailing 105-102, LeBron took matters to his own hands and casually drained a 3-pointer over a hand-off from Montrezl Harrell.

Interestingly, it's the Lakers' third straight overtime game after a double-overtime win against the Detroit Pistons last Saturday and an OT victory over the Thunder on Monday.

With Anthony Davis out due to Achilles soreness, LeBron James shouldered the workload for the Lakers and scored 25 points–capped by the brilliant clutch 3-pointer–at the end of regulation.

Sure enough, LeBron won't like the fact that they headed to another overtime after the grueling past two games. While he did say he has no issue with one overtime, his 36-year-old body could only take so much. Not to mention that James is remarkably strict with the way he takes care of his body during the long grind of the campaign.

Lakers fans, however, will be happy to see the King take over and not be afraid to take the last shot–as what most critics often throw at him. In fact, in their double-OT win over the Pistons, LeBron hit clutch back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Purple and Gold the breathing space and the lead to pull away  for good.
