Presented with the opportunity to get the FiberXers ahead after playing catch-up all game, Hopson cashed in and dribbled to a sweet spot in the right side of the new line from 27 feet away to launch "The shot." Nothing but net.
After being down by as many as 16, the FiberXers were up by one with 3.6 seconds to go. They stood one defensive stop away from completing the steal.
Preserving his historic four-ball winner, Hopson foiled Rondae Hollis-Jefferson's attempt at his own game-winner from underneath.
