In a beautifully set play, Danny Green of the Toronto Raptors hit the game-winning shot to lift his team over the Orlando Magic.
Check out the clip as posted by Dime. As observed, the whole play was set up for Green, who was at the opposite side of the court. As the play developed, Green lurched forward, went through a screen, got the ball, and rose up for a high-arching shot.

With 0.5 seconds remaining and no timeouts, the Magic heaved a fullcourt shot to no avail. The Raptors won, 93-91. Green himself finished with 13 points and three rebounds. Kawhi Leonard had a team-high with 18 points. Kyle Lowry had a relatively quiet night with nine points, seven assists, and four rebounds. The win puts the Raptors' record at 14-4.
For the Magic, Evan Fournier scored 27 points, a game-high. Aaron Gordon added 16 points and nine rebounds, while Nikola Vucevic had a monster double-double with 14 points and 18 rebounds.
Despite the coaching change and a blockbuster trade, the team has managed to pick up where they left off last season. While other top contenders are struggling early on, the Raptors are wreaking havoc all over the league.
They will head out next to State Farm Arena to face the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. After which, they'll head home and face the Washington Wizards on Friday, then the Miami Heat on Sunday.
