Jaden Ivey’s Buzzer-Beating Shot

Jaden Ivey’s game-winning buzzer-beater against the Toronto Raptors was a thrilling moment for the Detroit Pistons. With Cade Cunningham injured, Ivey took charge, scoring 22 points and making the crucial shot to secure a 102-100 victory.

The Horry Scale, which measures the degree of difficulty, game situation, importance, and celebration of a game-winning buzzer-beater, rates Ivey’s shot 3 out of 5 Robert Horrys. The difficulty of the shot was notable, as Ivey drove to his right, downshifted to create space, and made an awkward, backward-leaning, one-handed push shot from outside the key.

The game situation was also significant, with the Pistons tied 100-100 and 22.7 seconds left on the clock. Ivey’s shot sent the Pistons’ crowd into a frenzy, and his teammates congratulated him in celebration.
