Watch Justin Smoak and Kyle Lowry’s huge Tuesday moments in real time, 30 seconds apart

By now you’ve surely seen the two plays that simultaneously set the Toronto sports scene alight on Tuesday night: Kyle Lowry’s game-tying half-court heave at the buzzer of Game One of the Raptors’ playoff series with the Miami Heat, and Justin Smoak’s game-winning extra inning home run to finally put a second and third run on the board for the surprisingly frustrating Blue Jays’ offence.
But have you seen the clips inter-cut and running in real time to show how the two incredible moments really did happen at almost the exact same time (and only about a half-kilometre apart)? Because that’s especially cool — particularly when it’s time-stamped!
OK, so there may have been a jump of about ten seconds in there. But they were pretty close!
Sportsnet’s Faizal Khamisa, who provided the above clip, narrates the events and provides some context in a clip you can find on his Facebook page, which includes the missing 10 seconds (which had to be edited out for Twitter). Check it out.
*Originally this piece said that it was Smoak’s game-tying home run, not the winning one, because I am an idiot.
