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.
As time ticked down, his 21-foot jump shot found the bottom of the net as the buzzer sounded to lift San Antonio to their third successive win.
Gay's clutch shot sparked wild celebrations from his team-mates, who mobbed him on the court as the home crowd roared their approval.
