Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis nearly cost the team an immediate spot into the NBA playoffs on Tuesday night when he fouled Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr. with seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

The Lakers were up three points in the final seconds and all Davis had to do was close out on Conley as the guard tried to take a last-second three-pointer to tie the game. Davis ran into Conley on the close out and Conley sunk all three free throws to tie the game.

The foul essentially negated Dennis Schroder’s go-ahead bucket with 1.4 seconds remaining.

"It’s unfortunate A.D. had a brain fart and messed his game-winner up," LeBron James said after the game, pointing to Schroder.

Davis came over and apologized.
