#4 Clutch 3-pointer against Utah Jazz, 2010 NBA playoffs

Los Angeles Lakers v Phoenix Suns, Game 4
Fisher in action during the 2010 playoffs

The Lakers faced the Jazz for the third consecutive year in the playoffs in 2010. They had emerged victorious in both 2008 and 2009, and held the advantage in the 2010 series with a 2-0 lead in their 2 home games played up until that point of the season.

But they were down 106-108 with under a minute to go in Game 3. Phil Jackson drew up a play for Fisher to stroke a 3, getting Kobe to inbound the ball to him. Fisher swished it, as he'd swished numerous clutch shots earlier in his career and would continue to do so later on. The Lakers eventually won the game, swept the series and went on to win the title.
