Eddie House nailed two game-winning free throws with just six seconds remaining as the injury riddled Miami Heat rallied to beat the Detroit Pistons 88-87 on Friday.
LeBron James had a game-high 39 points for Miami, who played without injured NBA stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
"It felt like when I was 10 years old and I used to imagine the same situation," said House. "You've been doing it forever. No pressure; you just go up there and knock them down."
Detroit's Austin Daye had an entertaining final minute as he hit a three-pointer to give the Pistons an 87-86 lead. Moments later Miami's House was fouled setting the stage for the winning points from the free-throw line.
"Everybody depends on everybody," House said. "We believe in each other. If you don't have a play, you try to make a play for somebody else, make it easier for your teammate. At the end, that's what happened."
