Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports
About seven times out of 10, LeBron James driving the lane with three seconds left with the game on the line doesn't end well for opposing teams. On Tuesday, however, Pau Gasol of the Chicago Bulls protected the rim when it counted, stuffing James and preserving a 97-95 Chicago victory.

A look from above:
It was Gasol's fourth block of the fourth quarter, and sixth of the game. That's something else by the 35-year-old, who isn't exactly known as an elite defender.
