Former Portland Trail Blazers guard Gary Trent Jr. put the Toronto Raptors past the Washington Wizards with a Lillard-esque buzzer beater on Monday. Trent, who was traded to Toronto from Portland just before the deadline, put the finishing touch on the Raptors’ 103-101 win over the Wizards.
In the game’s final seconds, Trent corralled Raul Neto’s miss and turned it into a three-pointer on the other end just before the buzzer. In case you missed it, here is a closer look at Trent’s big shot:
