Twitter Reaction: Anunoby saves Raptors' season with insane buzzer-beater

Sportsnet Staff @SportsnetSeptember 03, 2020 - 10:30pm

Watch as with less than a second left OG Anunoby hits the winner to give the Raptors a shocking Game 3 win over the Celtics.

The Toronto Raptors looked down for the count in Game 3 of their second-round series against the Boston Celtics.

Kemba Walker delivered a jaw-dropping pass to Daniel Theis to put the Celtics up by two points with 0.5 seconds remaining, and the Raptors were on the verge of a daunting 0-3 series deficit.

That play was nothing compared to what came next. Toronto forward OG Anunoby knocked down a corner three to deliver the latest iconic buzzer-beater in franchise history to clinch a 104-103 victory and give the Raptors new life as they now trail 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

Here’s some of the best reaction to Anunoby’s season-saving bucket.

Raptors season on the line.

Kawhi: bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, win.

OG: That's a lot of unnecessary drama.
