8. Jamal Crawford’s game-winner over Bucks

The Suns’ second win over the Bucks featured a Richaun Holmes windmill and was a more impressive victory overall, but their first meeting in Milwaukee shouldn’t be overlooked either. On a night where Devin Booker led the way with 29 points and seven assists, Phoenix wound up needing another hero in the clutch.

With the score tied at 114 and the Suns getting the final possession with 12.2 seconds left, the Bucks wisely denied Booker the ball. Jamal Crawford had to make something out of nothing, and as he’s done so many times throughout his 15-year career, the vet made a huge shot with 0.8 seconds left.

This game-winner was vintage JCrossover — the contested pull-up with a defender draped all over him, the way he rose up suddenly and hung in the air to throw his defender off and size up the shot, the release on the way down. If not for his 51-point detonation on the final night of the season, this would’ve been the most memorable moment of the season for the 39-year-old.
