With the Golden State Warriors leading by five points as the first quarter began to wind down, Trae Young hoisted a deep 3-pointer to cut the Warriors’ advantage down to two points before the buzzer. However, the 1.2 seconds left on the clock were enough for Lester Quinones to strike before the end of the quarter.
With just under two seconds left, Quinones pulled up from half-court to launch a high-arcing buzzer-beater. As time expired, Quinones’ heave swished through the net as the first quarter clock hit double zero.
