Without Draymond Green and Gary Payton II, the Golden State Warriors needed someone to step up in Game 3 against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night.
Trailing 0-2 in the series, Donte DiVincenzo helped answer the call.
After the Warriors jumped out to an early lead, DiVincenzo helped get the Chase Center crowd on their feet at the end of the first quarter with a must-see buzzer beater.
With the clock ticking down, the former Villanova guard shook Sacramento’s Trey Lyles with crafty handles to get into the lane. DiVincenzo finished the bucket with a high arching finger roll that floated in the air just long enought to get over the finger tips of the Kings 7′ 2″ center, Alex Len.
