2. Jimmy Butler step-back jumper vs Nets

The only thing better than the Jimmy Butler buzzer beater was the commentary that ensued. But seriously, this step-back jumper delivered by Jimmy Butler was a thing of beauty.

Butler winded the clock all the way down promptly hits a smooth step-back jumper and it falls just as time expires. View the shot below.

1. Russell Westbrook vs Nuggets

No one had a better season than Russell Westbrook and boy did he cap it off in spectacular fashion. Not only did Russell Westbrook break the regular season triple double record in the game but he nailed an incredible buzzer beater for the win as well.

With 2.9 seconds left and the Thunder down two, the ball is inbound to Steven Adams who quickly passes to Westbrook and Westbrook drills a deep three to win it. The shot can be seen below.

These brilliant game winners could only be concluded by the man of the season himself, Russell Westbrook.
