The play will go down as, ‘Deandre Ayton and the Valley-Oop.’
But how about the call by Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams?
Down one with 0.9 seconds left in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday night, there was not much that Williams and the Suns could do. From a baseline out-of-bounds position, they basically had two options: Fire a pass to a star player (i.e. Devin Booker) in the strong side corner, or run some sort of action to get a look at the rim.
Phoenix went for the latter, and it worked flawlessly.
