Maurice Peterson’s Miracle Three Pointer at the Buzzer - Video
Amazing. Potentially more amazing than the Rasheed Wallace Buzzer Beat earlier in the week! The Wizards tried to celebrate and run the clock out when Peterson caught the celebratory heave and launched it high into the air and in… to force overtime. And like the Pistons did earlier in the week, the Raptors won in overtime as the Wizards were both baffled and deflated.
The Wizards appeared to have a victory secured until Michael Ruffin’s celebratory heave toward the rafters landed in the hands of Raptors guard Morris Peterson, whose 3-pointer from 31 feet tied the score at 109 as the horn sounded ending regulation.
Mo Peterson’s 3-pointer at the fourth-quarter buzzer to tie the game for Toronto at Washington was his only field-goal attempt of the game. The last NBA player whose only field-goal attempt either won or tied the game with less than one second left in either the fourth quarter or overtime was Milt Palacio. Palacio hit a 3-pointer with less than one second left to win a game for Boston at New Jersey on Dec. 28, 2000
