The Toronto Raptors are headed to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second time in franchise history after an improbable series-clinching buzzer-beater from All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard, who finished with a game-high 41 points.
From LeBron James to Damian Lillard, there was a widespread reaction to Leonard's shot as it set the basketball world ablaze.
