Trailing by as many as 18 points in Game 2 of the 1999 Western Conference Finals against the Portland Trail Blazers, the San Antonio Spurs pulled to within 2 in the final minute. Elliott nearly fell down as he received the inbounds pass and shot an off-balanced go-ahead 3-pointer with his heels hovering over the edge of the sideline. The "Memorial Day Miracle" gave the Spurs an 86-85 victory and highlights their first NBA championship season.
