Lakers star hails Tyson Chandler after game-winning block against Atlanta

LeBron James dunked for the winning basket while Tyson Chandler made a crucial block to lift the Los Angeles Lakers to a 107-106 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Chandler made a game-winning block in the final moments to secure the 107-106 victory. “For him to be playing winning basketball once again, I think those emotions just came out,” LeBron James said. “To make a game-winning block like that — you don’t see that much in our league.” Chandler revealed he has been studying Young before and during the game and had an idea of what the Atlanta star would do. “I studied [Young] a little bit and watched him through the course of the game,” Chandler said. “I saw how he has that flip shot. I was just timing it and making sure he didn’t have time to fake me and give it to my guy. Once he committed, I committed.”
