Erik Spoelstra has said that LeBron James made a "great play" to give the Miami Heat a 111-110 win over the Golden State Warriors last night.
The reigning MVP made a basket in the final second to give the defending NBA champions the victory in their final game before the All-Star break.
The team's head coach told reporters: "I just told them in the locker room that if I had realised he was going to work that thing all the way down to the end of the clock, I would have ran out there and screamed timeout.
"I tried to design something but once he started to wind it up I decided I better not break his rhythm and let a great player make a great play, make or miss, and that's what he did."
The Heat sit top in the Southeast Division with a 37-14.
