For those recalling Deandre Ayton’s similar playoff victory against the Clippers in 2021, remember that his winning alley-oop left 0.7 seconds on the clock, thus not qualifying as a true buzzer-beater.
Gordon’s achievement stands unique in basketball history, marking one of the most thrilling game-winners: a dunk as time expired. What an unforgettable game.
