The Philadelphia 76ers had an off day on Tuesday after a wild win over the San Antonio Spurs that required a miraculous shot by Shake Milton. On an NBA Tuesday, the league experienced another wild last-second shot that took the Twitter world by storm.
The Phoenix Suns–who are in the running for the 8 seed in the Western Conference–were tied with the Los Angeles Clippers at 115 late and they needed a shot to keep their playoff hopes alive. Devin Booker rocked back, turned around, and then drilled a shot over Paul George to lift the Suns to a huge win.

The shot by Booker got the attention of the NBA world and got the eye of Sixers guard Josh Richardson who was impressed with how tough the shot was.
Wow that shot book hit was nasty

Richardson and the Sixers will, hopefully, not have to rely on another late-game shot by Milton and close out a game on Wednesday. Their defense in the fourth quarter has got to be much better and they will need to wake up against the Washington Wizards. [lawrence-related id=36141,36134,36125]
