Two seconds before the end of regular time, Miami’s Gabe Vincent (26) alley-oops Butler, who catches the ball and converts it to 118-118 while lying crosswise in the air. Butler saves his heat into overtime – unbelievable!

There, the Heat are now seven points ahead. The Bucks get the ball again nine seconds before the end of overtime with the score at 126:128, pass back and forth, but are no longer able to bring the ball towards the basket before the final siren.
