UNC Alumni in the NBA: Danny Green drains another game-winner

Trailing by as many as 17 points on Wednesday night against the Miami Heat (16-17), the East-leading Toronto Raptors utilized a frantic second-half run to prevent themselves from succumbing to a blowout loss on the road.

However, after regaining a slim lead in the latter minutes of the game, a Justice Winslow layup over Kawhi Leonard left the Raptors down one, 104-103, with a mere 35.2 seconds left on the game clock.

Toronto needed a bucket, and they needed one fast. Insert former Tar Heel shooting guard Danny Green.

As Leonard brought the ball up and called for a screen from Raptors center Serge Ibaka, Green saw an opportunity to take advantage of a Heat defense that was paying him no mind.
