NBA Playoffs 2022: Joel Embiid's game-winner parallels Kawhi Leonard's playoff heartbreaker

Joel Embiid knows what it's like to be losing on the side of a go-ahead 3-pointer in the NBA playoffs, but that wasn't the case on Wednesday night.

The Philadelphia 76ers star splashed a turnaround three with under one second remaining in overtime to secure a 104-101 win against the Toronto Raptors.

When asked where the game-winner ranks among the biggest shots in his career, Embiid had a simple answer:

"Obviously that's the best one."

Philly is just one win away from sweeping the series, but it wasn't too long ago when they were on the opposing end of a buzzer-beating three at Scotiabank Arena.
