In the Orlando bubble, the Phoenix Suns were up against the LA Clippers in their third seeding game. Given how close the fight for the eighth spot in the West had been, this was a crucial game for the Suns to keep their playoff hopes alive.

With the scores tied at 115 at the end of the fourth quarter, Devin Booker had the ball in his hands during the dying moments of the game. With just around one second left, Booker pulled off a turn-around fadeaway shot over Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. He hit nothing but the net to get an important win for the Phoenix Suns and kept them in contention for the NBA playoffs.

Booker's buzzer-beater, over two of the best defenders in the league, will be among the most memorable moments of the NBA bubble.
