Klay Thompson releases the shot that gave Golden State the lead for good late in the fourth quarter.

The first image of the ball's flight from the telecast. Looks awfully alone up there, purposeless.

Rising, now at the top of the banners.
Extraordinary camera work by TNT, the ball is now clear of the banners, still rising.

Still rising, approaching the overhead scoreboard.

At its apex. So high up ice crystals formed on it, No they didn't, you're lying, Alright, not that high.

Starting its downward arc.

Heading home, its destination just in view at extreme right top.

Heading down, the basket fully in view, waiting.

On target. 


Splash down. Golden State would never relinquish the lead that Thompson's shot gave them and went on to win 108-101. 



Amazing sports photography. Perfect angles on that moon shot.
