#7 Robert Horry Vs The Sacramento Kings - Western Conference Final, Game 4 (2002)
Throughout Robert Horry's illustrious career, he was a constant threat in the dying moments of the game and has amassed a great deal of highlight reel moments. This one might have been the best of the lot.
Game four of the 2002 Conference Finals was arguably the best game of the great but controversial series. The Kings were leading the series 2-1 and made a fast start in game four. The Los Angeles Lakers, led by Shaquille O'Neal rallied to make a memorable comeback and cut the lead to just two points with ten seconds remaining. Kobe Bryant with the ball in his hand drove to the basket but missed the running layup.

O'Neal got the rebound but missed the put-back. Unfortunately for the Kings, the ball landed in Horry's hands with just over a second remaining. A desperate Chris Webber tried to block the shot but to no avail. Horry drained the three and tied the series at 2-2.
If Horry's shot hadn't gone in and the Kings were able to extend their lead to 3-1, not only would the Lakers have not accomplished their historic three-peat, but there may have never been the infamous game six of the controversial series.
