Many San Diego sports fans are calling Lamont Butler's game-winning buzzer-beater the greatest two seconds in San Diego sports history.
Lindsay Connolly of El Cajon is an SDSU alum who traveled to Houston with her father, Steve Connolly another SDSU graduate.
"Being a San Diego fan, you've been heartbroken so many years with the Padres and with the Chargers," she said."And then they freakin' made that shot. It's the greatest five seconds in sports history in my entire life.""I have to be honest I thought somehow we are not going to win this. We're going to be heartbroken again. But, we played our tails off," he said.
Jeff Hayes of San Diego was also at the game. He said,"I can't believe it, but I'll be back here Monday to believe it then. That's what I want." At a press conference after the game, Butler commented on his last-second decision to throw the ball."Once I looked up, there were two seconds left. I knew I had to take a shot. A shot I was comfortable with. I'm just glad it went in," he said.
