Booker. DEVIN Booker.
Oh nothing much, just buried the game-winning shot over Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.
Booker is 6-5. Paul George is 6-10 and Kawhi Leonard is 6-7. Both George and Leonard were NBA All-Defensive Team last year. Did not matter.
Here is a brief recap of the basket, following Booker getting the ball back after the Rubio miss and Clippers’ turnover:
7.9 seconds remaining - receive pass, face off with Paul George
4.2 seconds remaining - see double team coming, ball bait move to the right
4.1 seconds remaining - Drive hard to the left past Paul George
3.7 seconds remaining - Three quick dribbles to the mid-post on the left side, toward Kawhi Leonard
2.3 seconds remaining - Stop, up fake, watch Leonard elevate and go by
1.9 seconds remaining - Spin 360 degrees to your left as Paul George catches up and gets ready to contest
0.9 seconds remaining - Leap and shoot just before George can get there
Game.
