T.J. McConnell came up big in the final minute against the Orlando Magic on Thursday night. Twice.
McConnell helped the Philadelphia 76ers take a 1-point lead with 35 seconds left thanks to a swift pass to Dario Saric. The Magic quickly responded with a spinning hook by Nikola Vucevic to regain the lead.
Then this happened:

That’s pretty.
And apparently McConnell was pretty stoked about it, as was teammate Joel Embiid:
