Domantas Sabonis’ game winner goes viral in Kings-Heat

Domantas Sabonis’ game winner goes viral in Kings-Heat

After a heavy defeat against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday the Sacramento Kings needed a spark as they traveled to face off Miami heat on Monday evening.

Sacramento left South Beach with a 111-110 win, led by De’Aaron Fox and DeMar DeRozan who dropped 28 and 26 points, respectively. The Heat had a strong performance, led by Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler with 27 points apiece.

The play of the game undoubtedly came from a missed game-winning attempt by De’Aaron Fox, as star center Domantas Sabonis grabbed the offensive rebound over two Miami defenders and flipped it back up for the game-winning shot with 0.7 seconds left.

Heat guard Terry Rozier had a chance to win the ball from deep at the buzzer, but with a miss, Sabonis’ shot will officially go down as a legacy game-winner.

Sabonis’ highlight has gone viral on social media, with the NBA and several prominent media outlets posting it.

Via NBA: “SABONIS GETS IT WITH 0.7 LEFT!”

Bleacher Report and NBA on ESPN also recognized Domantas Sabonis’ insane shot.
