The Toronto Raptors have RJ Barrett to thank for keeping their season alive.
A massive game-winning three in overtime from the Mississauga, Ont., native gave the Raptors the series-tying win on Friday night.
Barrett's shot became an instant classic as the ball took a significant bounce before finding its way down into the net with just 1.2 seconds remaining.
It was reminiscent of Kawhi Leonard's iconic buzzer-beater for the Raptors during their 2019 championship run.
The shot, which pushed the score to 112-110, helped Toronto fend off a late attack, as Cleveland erased an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to force overtime.
