Lakers, Cavs, Knicks produce clutch finishes this week in the NBA - ESPN

The NBA slate this week contained a handful of games that ended in wild fashion.

The New York Knicks defeated the Detroit Pistons on Monday after a controversial non-call eventually led to a go-ahead layup from Josh Hart in the final seconds.

The Cleveland Cavaliers made a 10-point comeback in the final four minutes against the Dallas Mavericks, including a barrage of Cavalier 3-point shots from various distances and Max Strus' midcourt winner.

The Los Angeles Lakers overcame a 21-point deficit in a win over the LA Clippers on Wednesday, when LeBron James outscored the Clippers in the fourth quarter 19 to 16.

Here are how some of the NBA's wildest finishes this week played out:

Although nine fouls were issued in the fourth quarter, one that could've potentially saved the game for Detroit wasn't called. The Knicks trailed the Pistons by one point in the final seconds, desperate to see the ball fall through the net.

Though Jalen Brunson missed a 3-pointer, Malachi Flynn chased down the rebound and gave the ball to the Pistons' Simone Fontecchio. The ball was stripped from the Detroit forward, which landed in the possession of Knicks guard Donte DiVincenzo. Looking to swing the ball to Brunson, Ausar Thompson stole it before colliding with DiVincenzo.

No whistle was blown, though.

Brunson picked up the loose ball and dished it to Hart, who scored and drew a foul with two seconds remaining, giving the Knicks the victory.

The Knicks stole what would have been the Pistons' ninth win of the season.

«We won. This is the NBA, man. We don't care how we win. We don't care how ugly it is,» Hart said.

Pistons coach Monty Williams: «The absolute worst call of the season.»

«You cannot dive into a guy's legs in a big-time game like that
