With only 7.8 seconds left on the game clock between the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night, Nick Young stole a pass intended for his teammate, Lou Williams, and drilled a three-pointer with 5.0 seconds remaining. The shot proved to be the game-winner and Young became the Lakers' hero of the night.

It did appear that the play was not designed for him and that Williams was supposed to take the game-winning shot. During the post-game interview, Swaggy P put an end to that speculation and admitted he indeed stole the pass because he felt like taking the clutch shot himself.

“I stole the ball from Lou … I just felt like I wanted to take the shot. But it feels good. We worked hard tonight to get this one.

“The play was designed to go back to Lou … I was just running around, got caught in the crossfire, took the ball from Lou in the air and I just shot it.”

If there's one thing that's certain, it's that Lakers fans definitely don't care who the play was designed for as long as the team ended up with the victory. After knocking down the game-winner, it might also make head coach Luke Walton design a play for Nick Young next time when the team is in a similar situation.
