Bojan Bogdanovic’s game-winner vs Milwaukee
Perhaps the most memorable moment from this season was Bojan Bogdanovic‘s game-winning triple against the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Utah Jazz were nine games into the season and were 5-3 going into a match-up against the MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the Milwaukee Bucks. Utah played a heck of a game against one of the best teams in the league, and it ended in dramatic fashion.
The score was 100-100, and the Jazz had the ball after a costly turnover by Khris Middleton. They were one shot away from getting a statement victory against a team that was 6-2 at that point and fresh off a Conference Finals appearance. Here’s what happened next:
Man, I can recall the moments leading up to this beautiful shot from Bogdanovic. I was on the couch saying to myself “please give it to Bogey” multiple times. He was having a great game and hit the shot he’s been craving during his career — a game-winning buzzer beater.
The home crowd got LOUD and Bogdanovic was quickly swarmed by his teammates. The shot, the announcing, the reaction and the energy — it was special. It was one of those moments that you dream about as a kid while playing in your backyard.
Bogdanovic, arguably the best free agent signing in Utah Jazz history, has quickly become a fan favorite during his time in Utah, and moments like this one reason why. He’s been a perfect fit on the court and is an even better person off the court.
