For the second time in their first round series with the Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross knocked down a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from halfcourt.
Ross stole the ball from other end with five second left and quickly took the ball to their own half, giving him just enough time to send a halfcourt before the third quarter buzzer.

In Game 3, the 28-year-old also made a similar play. Jonathan Isaac tipped the ball and Ross completed the steal. He then ran to their basket and tossed the Hail Mary shot.

Terrence Ross is having one of the best seasons of his career thus far. In the regular season, he averaged a career-high 15.1 points, as well as 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists. He also knocked down 2.7 3-pointers per game — another career-high.
In the postseason, Ross is averaging 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. Unfortunately, despite his stellar play, many believe that the Raptors — who have tons of playoff experience — will easily take care of the seventh-seeded Magic.
From the looks of it, their assumptions might be true. They saw the Magic's Game 1 victory as a mere fluke. The next few games showed the Raptors' mastery of playoff basketball, though they know Orlando remains a difficult team to deal with when they're clicking on all cylinders.
