The Summer League had an incredible game finish come from the Sacramento Kings after a massive comeback and huge shot by Keegan Murray. The Kings trailed by six points with five seconds remaining in the game, when a wild sequence of events saw Murray drain a game-tying three point shot to force overtime.

Keegan Murray seals comeback with incredible shot

The Kings trailed by six after a pair of free throws were made by the Magic with seven seconds remaining in the game. Neemias Queta hit a huge three point shot with five seconds left on the clock, and the resulting inbound by the Magic was a turnover by Paolo Banchero as the inbounds pass was tipped and fell in front of Murray. Murray recovered the ball for the steal, dribbled out behind the three-point line and waited as two defenders flew by him for a block attempt.

Murray then drained the game-tying shot, forcing an unlikely overtime as the Summer League fans in attendance got to see one of the most exciting finishes of the week.

The overtime saw another dramatic finish after the Kings had a good attempt at a game-winner in the paint that was demolished by Emanuel Terry with a block to preserve the tie. The second overtime of the Summer League is played as a sudden death period, meaning the first score wins it. Banchero and the Magic won the tip and got the first chance to win before a bad pass by Banchero was turned over to the Kings.

Sacramento called a timeout to draw up a play and got a great lob pass to the rim for Queta that was blocked from behind by Banchero but called a foul. The Magic challenged the foul call and it was overturned, leading to a game-winning assist from Banchero to Terry as the game ended with a layup and the Magic winning.
