Hornets' Courtney Lee Credits "Bible Study and Massage Session" for Game-Winner

Where's the lie?

The Miami Heat are now on the brink of elimination with the series headed back to Charlotte, thanks to one of the most unlikely of heroes in Courtney Lee. Prior to hitting the game-winning three-pointer with 25.2 seconds remaining, Lee was 1-for-8 from the field. But, after Kemba Walker failed to hit his mid-range jumper, Courtney swooped in to grab the board and give his team another possession. There was no way Lee was going to be the one shooting the rock with a Game 5 win on the line, right?

The Heat must've been thinking the same thing and Lee made them pay for leaving him wide open from beyond the arc. After the game, the eight-year veteran was asked about his approach before making the game-deciding basket and his response: a "Bible study and massage session." Obviously, Lee's reasoning goes much deeper than that. Check it out!
