Dwyane Wade's insane buzzer-beating game-winner stuns Warriors
Dwyane Wade may be retiring at the end of the season, but he still has plenty of big shots left in him.
He made that more than clear on Wednesday night in Miami.
The Heat were trailing the Golden State Warriors by two points in the final seconds at the American Airlines Arena, and had one final shot. Wade attempted to drive to the rim after bringing the ball up the floor, but was cut off and dished it back out to Dion Waiters.
Waiters, not having a clean look, passed it back to Wade at the top of the key with less than three seconds left.
Wade shot-faked once before attempting to take the shot, but had the ball tipped. Luckily for Wade, the ball fell right back into his hands, so he shot again — this time off-balanced on just one leg.
He banked it in perfectly, giving Miami the 126-125 win.
The shot also marked Wade’s first game-winning buzzer-beater with his team trailing in his career. He was 0-for-14 in those situations before Wednesday night.
He finished with 25 points off the bench, shooting 5-of-8 from behind the arc. Goran Dragic led the Heat with 27 points off the bench, and Josh Richardson added 21 points.
Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 36 points in the loss, shooting 7-of-15 from the 3-point line. Kevin Durant added 29 points, and Steph Curry finished with 24 points.
