I was watching this game live and I fucking exploded when Jimmy made that stepback three. Its hard to translate in highlight videos but you could palpably feel the pure fucking tension and momentum building up throughout this entire game and Jimmy just felt unstoppable. If he had made that And-1 at 2:26 i probably would’ve passed out from excitement
