These five photos of Kawhi Leonard watching his buzzer-beater are incredible
Kawhi Leonard hit one of the most dramatic buzzer-beaters in Sunday’s Game 7, as the ball bounced off the rim a few times before finally dropping through the hoop and giving the Raptors a 92-90 victory over the Sixers.
It was absolutely insane.
Leonard’s buzzer-beater happened in front of his bench, as he drove to the baseline and hoisted his heroic shot. He crouched down low to see how the shot would turn out and it all led to some great photos of Leonard, his teammates, and Joel Embiid watching the shot.
We need to skip first to the best one, because it’s incredible.
Look at all the faces:
