WATCH: Flau'jae Johnson’s hustle and Kailyn Gilbert’s clutch bucket ensue chaos as LSU bench erupts

Flau'jae Johnson and Kailyn Gilbert ensured the No. 7 LSU Tigers' opening game in the Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship against the Washington Huskies ended in dramatic fashion. The two junior guards combined for a sensational moment in the clutch.

The Tigers trailed by one with 12 seconds to go in the fourth quarter, and it all seemed lost when Johnson mishandled a pass from Last-Tear Poa. However, she made an incredible effort to save the loose ball, which Gilbert picked up at half-court. Gilbert then drove to the basket and made a layup that three Huskie players contested.

The ball hung at the rim for almost a second before dropping in, sending the Tigers bench into raptures. This saw the Tigers win the game 68-67.

Flau'jae Johnson and Aneesah Morrow lead LSU comeback against Washington

The Tigers struggled at the start, trailing by as many as 15 points with 23 seconds to go in the first quarter. However, Flau'jae Johnson and Aneesah Morrow found their groove as the game went on, inspiring the Tigers to a hard-fought comeback win over the Huskies.

Morrow recorded an impressive double-double as she nearly played every minute of the game. She finished with 19 points, 13 rebounds and two steals to record her 80th career double-double.

Flau'jae Johnson went 8-for-19 from the field and 2-for-6 from 3-point range to finish joint-top scorer with Morrow with 19 points. She also recorded four rebounds, two assists and four steals.

Redshirt sophomore Sa'Myah Smith also finished with a double-double and was the only player apart from Johnson and Morrow to score in double digits. She finished with 16 points and a team-leading 15 rebounds.

No. 7 LSU will take on No. 20 NC State, who scored a 77-47 victory over the Southern Jaguars, on Nov. 27 in the championship game at 11:30 AM ET. This will be the first time they face a ranked opponent this season, and the Tigers will be keen to come out on top.
