Kawhi Leonard sent the Toronto Raptors to the Eastern Conference Finals with a huge Game 7 performance. He dropped 41 points, including the game winning shot at the buzzer to eliminate the 76ers.
Kawhi’s game winner at the buzzer had all the drama you want from a game winning, series ending shot. He was forced to take an extremely tough shot over Joel Embiid that hit the rim then bounced in.

What a shot. I love that it was a two point shot and not an unnecessary three. It had everything you want from a shot that ends the losing team’s season.
And an added bonus was Kawhi letting out some emotion as his teammates embraced him following the dagger. Postseason basketball doesn’t get any better than this.
