Three-pointer made!
The Los Angeles Lakers instantly took the lead, 55-52!
A two-point margin!
The TNT broadcast booth exploded. Kevin Harlan raised his voice, filled with shock and excitement.
"A three! Fisher hit the clutch three-pointer! The Lakers are up by one!"
"Who could have imagined that the weight tipping the balance of this Game 7 would be old Fish, Derek Fisher!"
Inside Madison Square Garden, time seemed to freeze, and the entire arena fell into a deathly silence.
The New York fans in the stands stared ahead in stunned disbelief, their faces full of shock and incredulity.
Their eyes were wide as they fixed their gazes on the figure who had just hit the game-winning three—Fisher!
This name might not have been unfamiliar to most people, but before this moment, he could almost have been called an unknown nobody.
Yet this seemingly ordinary player had stepped up in the final moments, completely turning the tide with a thunderous three-pointer!
The scene was so shocking that everyone present could scarcely believe their own eyes.
The fans furrowed their brows, their palms slick with cold sweat as the worry in their hearts instantly surged to its peak.
The silence lasted only a few seconds before the Knicks quickly organized their offense and steadied themselves.
Sabonis fought hard for position under the basket, forcefully shoving O'Neal aside as he crashed the offensive boards.
The basketball was tipped into his hands. In the instant his body lost balance, he forced himself around with his massive frame.
With two Lakers players contesting him, he rose powerfully and banked the shot up.
The ball kissed the glass and dropped in, and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time—a defensive foul!
The 2+1 was complete!
The deathly silent Madison Square Garden erupted once more, cheers
