NBA Playoffs: Ayton’s Last Second Dunk Lifts Suns To 2-0 Series Lead

With his team trailing by one, Phoenix Suns Head Coach Monty Williams drew up a game-winning play for his young big man, Deandre Ayton. And the 22-year-old was ready for the challenge.

Ayton jammed home an alley-oop pass from Jae Crowder with 0.7 seconds left, lifting the Suns past the LA Clippers 104-103 in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals at Phoenix Suns Arena on Tuesday night.

Williams got a free timeout with the officials reviewing a play on instant replay, allowing him to draw up the alley-oop lob play to win the game. Prior to that, LA Clippers forward Paul George missed out on a chance to put Los Angeles up three points when he missed two free throws, leaving the door open for the Suns.
