Coming off a rough loss against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday, the Sacramento Kings needed a spark as they traveled to face the Miami Heat on Monday night.

Sacramento scraped out of South Beach with a 111-110 win, led by De'Aaron Fox and DeMar DeRozan dropping 28 and 26 points, respectively. The Heat had a strong showing, led by Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler with 27 points a piece.

The play of the game, undoubtedly, came off a missed De'Aaron Fox game-winning attempt, as star center Domantas Sabonis grabbed the offensive rebound over two Miami defenders and threw it back up for the game-winning shot with 0.7 seconds remaining.

Heat guard Terry Rozier had a chance to win it from deep at the buzzer, but with a miss, Sabonis' shot will officially go down as a legacy game-winner.

The Sabonis highlight has gone viral on social media, with the NBA and several high-level outlets posting it.

Sabonis finished with an impressive stat line of 16 points, 16 rebounds, and seven assists, but nothing more important than the final shot.
