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. The Suns’ chance bottomed out at 14% (4th quarter, 45s left). Chances from the site’s game model (the per-play numbers the Clutch and Performances tabs use aren’t built for this game).
