10 Best moments in the Lakers-Celtics rivalry

#2 Sam Jones, Game 4 1969

Sam Jones, 1969

Down 2-1 in the series, the Celtics trusted Sam Jones to bring them back. He delivered with one of the greatest buzzer-beaters of all time. Jones played a game that will only ever be replayed for those last few seconds.

To add to the suspense, the ball was given to Jones after a triple pick and even bounced a few times before it made its way in. This further added up in the long run as in 1969, the Celtics won the series in 7 games.
