13. Derek Fisher vs. Boston Celtics, Game 7 NBA Finals, June 17, 2010.

The setting: After briefly going to the locker room to tend to an injury, <a href="http://projects.latimes.com/lakers/player/derek-fisher/">Fisher</a> returned in the fourth quarter and made a three-point shot with 6:12 left to tie the score at 64-64.<br>
<br>
The significance: In a game where points were hard to come by, Fishers shot not only got the Lakers even but it reenergized the <a class="taxInlineTagLink" id="PLREC000037101" title="Staples Center" href="/topic/sports/staples-center-PLREC000037101.topic">Staples Center</a> crowd. From that point on, the Lakers never trailed and won, 83-79. Boston Coach <a class="taxInlineTagLink" id="PESPT000009504" title="Doc Rivers" href="/topic/sports/basketball/doc-rivers-PESPT000009504.topic">Doc Rivers</a> said Fishers shot was the biggest of the game.
