The Kawhi Shot Heard Around The World

On this date in history Kawhi Leonard connected on a fadeaway from the right corner as the final buzzer sounded (the first game-winning field goal at the buzzer in a Game 7 in NBA Playoffs history) to propel the Raptors over the 76ers by the final score of 92-90 in Toronto to win the series 4-3 and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the 2nd time in franchise history (2016).

Kawhi Leonard led all scorers 41 points (franchise record in a Game 7, previously 35 points – K. Lowry 5/15/16), 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. Joel Embiid paced the 76ers with 21 points (6-18 FG), 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocked shots in the losing effort.

  1. Prime Kawhi Leonard could guard all five positions, was a two-time defensive player of the year, and led the NBA in steals.
    Leonard has an argument for being the greatest perimeter defender in NBA history while also being able to guard interior players as well.
    His playoff run with the Raptors was the most I’ve ever seen a player dominate both sides of the ball in a single playoff run, I imagine that was what it was like watching Jordan.
