With the game in his hands, Butler teased Rondae Hollis-Jefferson at the top of the key before driving and fooling the Nets' defender with a step-back move that took the Sixers guard back outside the three-point line, creating the space he needed to launch a shot.

Butler elevated and launched a three-ball that swished through the net with just 0.4 seconds remaining to seal the Sixers' eighth win in their last 11 games.
