Definition:
Sports term for losing to a clutch sports play at the end of a game named after Duke basketball Christian Laettner's epic game winning shot vs. Kentucky in 1992.
Colloquialism:
Yo! Check it out, Braylin Mullins just Laettnered Duke in the Elite Eight, March Madness. Talk about payback for the Puke Blue Devils big shots in the 90's. Ain't Michigan so happy now? We got Laettnered at the end of the game by the best player on the other team. Hate that guy!
