There is nothing like a back and forth battle within a basketball game to keep the fans on the edge of their seat. As die hard fans, we anticipate every shot to be the beginning of a consistent beat down against our opponent to effectively secure a win. We continue to have faith in our team especially when our team starts to pull away from our opponent up until our hopes become shaken when that lead starts to deteriorate.
If you are an Orlando Magic fan, these were you emotions during Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks. After your team has only won two of the last seventeen match ups, faith of your team’s performance has been a consistent roller coaster. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter when this game became quite interesting. In fact, with minutes left to go, it seemed that this game could very well go into overtime.
That is of course, until Nikola Vucevic of the Orlando Magic was passed the ball with 2.2 seconds left in regulation. He preceded to take the fadeaway shot landing the basket at the buzzer which secured the win against the Atlanta Hawks 96-94.
In case you missed it, below is a clip of this buzzer beater:
