Kawhi Leonard nailed a tough fallaway jumper in the closing seconds to beat the Trail Blazers last week, much to the chagrin of every Portland fan.
Leonard’s shot fell through the hoop with 1.5 seconds left and the Blazers, with no timeouts remaining, were forced into a hopeless 75-foot heave. The game effectively ended when Leonard’s shot hung on the rim one second too long.
As a Blazers fan, that ending sucked. After 47 minutes and 58.5 seconds of A+ basketball we were given a game that ended before the final buzzer sounded and Damian Lillard never got a chance at a real rebuttal.
