The Philadelphia 76ers` had tied the Eastern Conference semifinals 3-3 after a Game 6 win and it came down to an all-important Game 7 for both the teams to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. Both of the teams were hungry for a win and raring to go.

The match was always going to be a close one and with the occasion rose Kawhi Leonard, who had a mini-slump, scoring just 21 points in Game 5 and 29 points in Game 6, a slump compared how good he was all season long.

He scored a team-high 41 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and had 3 assists as well in 43 minutes. He took a massive 39 shots to get there and had 3 steals too. But none of this was as impressive as the last second, buzzer beater that he scored to take the Toronto Raptors into the Eastern Conference Finals.

This moment is now being touted as one of the greatest buzzer beaters of all time, if not the best one. The stakes that were on the line and the amount of pressure under which Leonard took the shot is just inspiring as shown in the video below. The Raptors won the match 92-90 and the match became an instant classic.
