5. Jamal Murray – Denver Nuggets – Playoffs 2024
The Nuggets reversed a disadvantage of 20 points to win the game. Jamaal Murray attacks before the Anthony Davis brand, is scoring back and scores the winning shot, and then receiving the multitude of hugs from his teammates.
Five days later, Murray did it again in front of the Lakers. This game-winner, with a five-meter suspension shot, left more than three seconds on the clock. The Lakers, without dead times to ask, tried to run the court but was in vain. With this triumph, Denver advanced to Second Round.
4. LeBron James – Cleveland Cavaliers – Playoffs 2018
Game 5. Cleveland needs to win to not complicate. And then, the rescue, King LeBron comes out. Attacks the hoop, but before immersing itself in the proximity of the board, it stops in the three -point line and converts the triple on the horn before the Thaddeus Young mark.
LeBron James takes the ball and runs the court. The game is matched in 103. Akron’s genius gets into the key and gets a shot from the left margin that kisses the board and enters. With this triumph, Cleveland set 3-0 in the series.
3. Tyrese Haliburton – Indiana Pacers – Playoffs 2025
Haliburton put the drawer’s nails to an impossible match. Really. Indiana forced two losses in the last 29 seconds of extra time and Haliburton, with 1.3 seconds on the clock, gave the victory to the Pacers after an 8-0 partial that eliminated the bucks of the postseason.
Another game with incredible ending. He was won for Cleveland, but it is seen that Indiana is never willing to surrender. Haliburton had two free shots. The Cavaliers above 119-116. He puts the first, erra the second, the Myles Turner ball is slapped and he has left the Base of Indiana. Go back to the line of three, threaten the penetration and throw from behind the arch. Boom. End of history.
2. Aaron Gordon – Denver Nuggets – Playoffs 2025
This is, for whom he writes, the best game-winner in the history of the playoffs. Not by instance, yes by definition. Nikola Jokic throws a triple that does not touch Aro and Gordon, the Nuggets Superman, flies to bury the ball with two hands at the same time as the horn sounds. The play had to be reviewed, but the Slow Motion camera was right to the Nuggets eaves.
They won, here, a match of those that seem impossible. The whole game behind, but with a demolish Jokic, they put themselves in a match against Thunder and took the game 1 of conference semifinals. The hero? Gordon again. It was not a dump, it was a triple after assistance from Russell Westbrook.
1. Robert Horry – Los Angeles Lakers – Playoffs 2002
The instance, the action, the scenario, all together. This was Robert’s best “Big Shot Bob” Horry, an unforgettable Buzzer-Beater for the NBA history. Shaquille O’Neal Falla, Vlade Divac throws the ball away and Horry, in front of the hoop, with a three -point shot, notes the best launch of his career.
Kobe Bryant attacks the hoop. The defense, naturally, closes to avoid double and extra time. Robert Horry, bet on a corner, connects the triple and produces the purple and gold burst. It was a key shot because it allowed to close the first round series with 3-0 sweep.
