Seems like buzzer-beaters and last-second game-winners run in packs these days in the NBA. First, Paul Pierce drained a dagger in Amare Stoudemire’s face to clinch a Celtics victory. Now it’s the Spurs’ Manu Ginobili’s turn.
VIDEO Of Manu Ginobili’s Buzzer-Beater In Spurs’ 92-90 Win Over Bucks
Ginobili put the finishing touches on a 26-point night by hitting a 20-foot fadeaway at the buzzer to give the San Antonio Spurs a thrilling 92-90 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Spurs squandered an 18-point lead and were in a 90-90 tie game following a Drew Gooden follow-up of a Brandon Jennings miss with 49.7 seconds left.
Ginobili and Luc Mbah a Moute traded misses, and Gooden couldn’t get another tip-in to fall on the latter attempt, giving the ball back to the Spurs with 9.5 seconds to go.
The inbounds went directly to Ginobili, who dribbled down the clock at the top of the key and made his way to the left wing. He got some separation from Mbah a Moute with a slight push-off and hit a dramatic off-balance fadeaway to end a perfect six-game homestand for the Spurs.
