Tyrese Haliburton’s clutch shot against the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals and Kawhi Leonard’s buzzer beater that eliminated the 76ers in Game 7 of the 2019 Eastern Conference finals are both unforgettable moments. Haliburton’s game-tying shot, which bounced off the rim before dropping through the net, forced overtime, where the Pacers won 138-135. Leonard’s shot, taken in a must-win situation, sent the Raptors to the NBA Finals and ultimately led to their championship win. While Haliburton’s shot was part of an incredible comeback, Leonard’s game-winning shot in a high-pressure Game 7 gives it the edge. However, both shots are iconic in their own right, showcasing the drama and excitement of the NBA playoffs.
