Buzzer beaters are rare in basketball, especially with an ENTIRE SERIES on the line, so players can usually be found going nuts with teammates when they do happen. But Raptors deadline acquisition Marc Gasol had something else on his mind following his team's Game 7 victory.
His opponent Joel Embiid.
After Kawhi Leonard knocked down what’s already being touted as the greatest shot in Raptors history, Gasol chose not to rush his teammate right away. Instead, he immediately approached Embiid and shared some words with him as the two hugged it out.
You couldn’t help but feel bad for the 25-year-old after the game, even after his embrace with Gasol.
Gasol may have been able to keep his cool but his teammates had a little more difficulty. Even Kawhi showed some emotion on the court.
KAWHI!!!!
And let’s not forget about the Square outside of Scotiabank Arena. The scene was INSANE.
What a move by Gasol and what a shot by Kawhi.
And what a night in Toronto.
