The five plays that moved the chance to win most, in order.

On the court, each shot is the shooter’s face (gray when he missed), bigger the more it moved the chance. Chances from the site’s game model (the per-play numbers the Clutch and Performances tabs use aren’t built for this game).
100 points from the field on 95 shots: 0.6 fewer than the league scores from the same zones.
