If the Cavaliers win in the end, this is definitely a Hansen moment!
Coming back from the timeout, no surprises occurred, and the Heat successfully got the ball into Wade’s hands.
Once again, the Cavaliers are facing the Heat, whose strongest feature is their execution.
With Hansen’s performance tonight, any other team would have lost the game to the Cavaliers by now, but Riley’s team won’t give you that chance.
Riley gathered the others to the sidelines to give some instructions, and when Wade went to the free-throw line, he rubbed his chin hard.
There are only 4.6 seconds left in the game.
As long as Wade makes both free throws, the Heat will be unbeatable.
He also advised earlier to keep a close watch on Hansen and not to allow any three-point opportunities, and to foul if necessary.
He knew that the referees would leave the game to the players in the last moments.
Wade went to the free-throw line, and the noise was deafening.
No suspense, his first free throw was solidly made.
Before the second free throw, Wade took a deep breath with the ball in his hands.
If he makes this shot, they can go back to Miami to play a Game 7 against the Cavaliers.
The more you want to accomplish something, the more likely unexpected things will happen.
Wade’s second free throw missed!
Jokic grabbed the crucial defensive rebound!
Realizing something, Wade rushed towards Jokic trying to send him to the free-throw line.
But Jokic dodged, and although he hit Jokic’s hand, the referee did not blow the whistle.
Just as Riley expected, the referees left the game in the players’ hands.
By the time he tried to foul again, Jokic had already thrown the ball out.
The basketball was flying to the other end, Hansen had already run beyond the three-point line.
Hansen was running, Dragic and Durant were running behind him, time was slipping away.
The fans in the arena held their breath.
There’s no time left.
But when Hansen was still a meter away from the three-point line, he knew he didn’t have time to get any closer.
He chose to pull up for a three-point shot.
This shot was almost on the edge of the logo.
Just as Hansen released the ball, the red light at the court-side lit up.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Hansen once made a logo buzzer-beater against the Warriors, but this was a running three-pointer, not on the same difficulty level.
Because of the strong forward momentum, this shot hit the backboard hard.
But after bouncing, the ball fell into the net!
The power was hard to control, but Hansen controlled the accuracy!
The Quicken Loans Arena exploded inside and out.
Hansen, with a logo three-pointer, made a buzzer-beater on the Heat Team!
He broke up this strongest Heat team in the most incredible yet poetic way!
"Pat Riley, remember to hang the number 77 jersey up in the American Airlines Arena!" O’Neal finally let out a long sigh!
Heat fans were in disbelief, holding their heads.
Riley’s face was so tense that he couldn’t breathe.
And Hansen, after landing the shot, headed to his loyal scorer’s table.
He jumped onto it, pointing both hands underneath.
Jokic was stunned, realizing that Hansen also remembered his moment!
The crowd was in a frenzy. Orıginal content can be found at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
What a magical night!
"This is impossible." It wasn’t until now that the rational Kenny Smith came to his senses.
Hansen scored 17 points in the final minute and a half!
The only close comparison was Isaiah Thomas scoring 16 consecutive points in a game, but the Pistons didn’t win, so that was lost to history.
But Hansen made the buzzer-beater, leading the Cavaliers to an unbelievable comeback and dismantling the Heat, a moment destined to be etched in history!
When the game ended and Hansen walked towards the player tunnel, he saw Gilbert, who had come down from the VIP box to wait there early.
To his utmost surprise, the moment Gilbert saw him coming, he opened his arms wide and rushed towards him, then knelt down directly!
