Trey Burke's buzzer-beater trumps Carmelo Anthony's trey with 2.3 seconds left (VIDEO)

Trey Burke made a buzzer-beating jumper from the corner to give the Utah Jazz a 102-100 victory Friday night over the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, despite 46 points from Carmelo Anthony.

Anthony, who looked like he had a game-tying three-point shot with 2.3 seconds left in the game, was trumped by Burke after the sharpshooting guard hit a corner jumper at the buzzer to hand the Knicks their seventh straight loss.




Anthony did all he could, including the Knicks' final 11 points, but in the end it wasn't enough.



"I looked up," Anthony said, "and I was like, 'No, please.' I just wanted it to go to overtime."

Here's how the final 2.3 seconds played out with J.R Smith's stunned pose saying it all for Knicks fans:

Grizzlies wait five minutes to get buzzer-beater win against Kings (VIDEO)

It seemed nearly impossible that the Grizzlies could score a winning basket trailing 110-109 with only 0.3 remaining on the clock against the Kings Thursday night. But somehow Memphis pulled out a dramatic victory thanks to a buzzer-beating inbound pass-to-tip-in from Vince Carter to Courtney Lee.




Too bad it took officials nearly five minutes of checking replays for the Griz to finally celebrate:



Grizzlies win: 111-110.

Warriors' Iguodala hits buzzer-beater to cap off wild victory against Thunder (VIDEO)

Andre Iguodala's buzzer-beater capped off a wild finish to Thursday night's Thunder-Warriors game, giving Golden State a 116-115 win.

Before Iguodala's game-winning bucket, Russell Westbrook sank a deep three-pointer for a 115-114 Thunder lead, turning Oracle Arena quiet as a graveyard.

But Westbrook left 2.3 seconds on the clock and the Warriors had only a sliver of hope to win. After a timeout, Klay Thompson found a breaking Iguodala, who turned and shot the fade-away prayer to stun the Thunder.



Pandemonium ensued as the Warriors mobbed their hero at center court.




Golden State is good, but had been waiting for that statement victory so far this season. Statement made loud and clear.

High Schooler scores buzzer-beater for other team

A Oklahoma boy's basketball player scored the game-winning basket in a high school championship game that will never see the light of day in his highlight reel.

Hugo (Okla.) High School guard Trey Johnson took an inbounds pass — with 3.7 left against Millwood Wednesday night — dribbles the ball one time and lays it off the backboard and through the net — uncontested.  Too bad for Hugo fans and Johnson, it went into the other team's basket.

Millwood wins 38-37 and you can hear the the shocked fans screaming "He's stupid" at what was Johnson's second basket of the night.



"Without a doubt, that's the toughest locker room I've ever had to talk to," said Hugo coach Darnell Shanklin. You think?

One can only imagine the confused kid's excitement turned to disappointment after his brain unfroze.

The half-court heave was his only shot of the game.

Hundreds of screaming fans stormed the hardwood after the 68-67 win.  Afterwards, an emotional Fedler said," It's a great feeling."
