Tyreke Evans(notes) had his prayer answered to give his team a 100-98 victory over the Grizzlies in Sacramento. Just so we're clear, this is a 50-foot shot at the buzzer right after a tough fadeaway by O.J. Mayo(notes) to give Memphis the lead with only 1.5 seconds remaining. Without a timeout, the Kings couldn't advance it, but it turns out Evans wouldn't need an easier look to win this one.


He's almost in the paint by the time the ball goes through, which would probably be a technical foul if not for the pure awesomeness of the play itself. To make things even better, Greene also joined Evans on top of the scorer's table to celebrate. I'm not sure a player has ever been more excited about a shot he wasn't involved in, let alone a play for a lottery team in the cold of winter.

The Kings have had a rough few weeks: rookie big man DeMarcus Cousins(notes) can't get along with head coach Paul Westphal, Evans himself might need to have season-ending surgery to repair persistent plantar fasciitis, and they'd lost 16 of their last 17 (including eight in a row) before this win.
