NBA's 60 Greatest Playoff Moments: #25

Robert Horry 3-Pointer Vs. Pistons; Game 5, 2005 Finals:
"Robert Horry delivers yet another memorable playoff moment, leading the Spurs to a double OT win and a 3-2 Series lead. In what will go down as one of the great clutch performances of all-time, "Big-Shot Rob" scores all 21 of his points in the fourth quarter and overtime, including a 3-pointer with 5.8 seconds remaining, to give the Spurs a 96-95 victory at the Palace, where the Pistons had been 63-19 over the past two regular seasons. Despite Detroit's Game 6 bounce-back win, the Spurs would end any thoughts Detroit had of back-to-back championships, as they closed it out in front of the home crowd, 81-74." - NBA.com

Sheed! What are you doing!?! First you come to late to challenge Sean Elliot in 1999, then you and the Blazers choke away 2000 WCF, then you leave Horry open in 2005, then you and the Pistons choke away 2007 and 2008 ECF, then you and the Celtics choke away the 2010 Finals!

"One of the key things you cannot do, is lleave one of the key 3 point shooters unattended". Horry went off in this game too, it wasn't just one shot.

@thesportsdude90 You mean 2008, when the Celtics won. The Lakers beat the Magic in 2009, and the Celtics in 2010.
