According to ESPN, among players with at least 25 attempts in the last 10 seasons, Rudy Gay leads the NBA in field goal percentage on game-tying/go-ahead shots in the final five seconds of a game.
No. 8 has two such attempts this year, and is a perfect two-of-two in those situations, hitting on a game-tying basket in Charlotte as regulation ended and a go-ahead field goal in Utah to net the team a win.
Thus far in the 2015-2016 season, the University of Connecticut product is averaging 18 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Gay's career-high for single-season game-tying/go-ahead field goals with less than five seconds remaining is three.
