Josh Smith Game Winning Buzzer Beating Dunk against the Orlando Magic

Josh Smith didn't plan on being the hero, but when Joe Johnson pulled up for a potential game‑winning shot, Smith anticipated the rebound and dove toward the basket. His timely dunk as time expired sealed a gritty 86‑84 victory for the Atlanta Hawks over the Orlando Magic, a team that had outscored the Hawks by an average of 22 points in their three previous meetings this season. The win snapped a 15‑2 early deficit and capped a comeback that saw the Hawks go 8:45 in the fourth quarter without a field goal, while the Magic had routed them three times earlier in the season. The game was a crucial one for Atlanta, as it secured a third straight trip to the playoffs.
