The Lakers veteran point guard came back to haunt his former team, with whom he won an NBA title in 2008.

Rondo's game-winner capped a wild back-and-forth final minute that began with back-to-back three-pointers by the Lakers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and LeBron James that erased a late six-point deficit and produced a 124-124 tie with 50.1 seconds remaining.
