Rudy Gay nails a game-winning buzzer-beater to seal victory for the San Antonio Spurs over the Phoenix Suns

Rudy Gay drained a clutch jumper as time expired to earn the San Antonio Spurs a 126-124 victory over the Phoenix Suns.

After Phoenix's Josh Jackson had tied the game at 124-124 with a dunk with 19.6 seconds on the clock, Spurs small forward Gay took the game in his hands, patiently working against Phoenix defender Kelly Oubre Jr a step inside the arc before letting fly with his deciding shot just before the buzzer.
