How this viral photo perfectly captured Kawhi’s game-winning shot for the Raptors

It was the shot seen around the world.

Kawhi Leonard’s buzzer-beating basket took what felt like an eternity to land. Four bounces — and a whole lot of suspense — later, the ball dropped, and the game and series were won by the Toronto Raptors. Toronto Star photographers Rick Madonik and Steve Russell had a first-hand look at the play, capturing the moments leading up to and immediately after the shot that shook the city and basketball world.
