Robert Horry's buzzer-beater lifts Lakers past Kings in 2002 | ESPN Archives

The Los Angeles Lakers overcame a 24-point deficit in the first half and beat the Sacramento Kings 100-99. (2:44) On the final possession, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal both missed layups, but Vlade Divac whacked the ball out to the perimeter to Robert Horry who buried the game winner to propel L.A. to the Game 4 win in the 2002 NBA Western Conference finals.
