Chris shot unbelievable: Duncan NFL Roundup

LOS ANGELES, May 3, (Agencies): Chris Paul banked in a shot with a second left to lift the Los Angeles Clippers to a thrilling 111-109 victory over San Antonio in Game 7 on Saturday that eliminated the defending NBA champion Spurs from the playoffs.

After Spurs veteran Tim Duncan made two free throws to tie it with 8.8 seconds left, Paul drove the right side. He originally was covered by Danny Green before Duncan came over to help. Paul put up a one-handed shot over the 39-year-old that went in as he was falling away.

Paul said coach Doc Rivers spoke to him and Blake Griffin before the game about last-shot scenarios.
