I like this angle. Watching the delay between the shot and the crowd reaction shows you how long the ball was in the air. Lillard has enough time to backpedal four steps.

Don’t sensationalize. This wasn’t “tense.” Mr. Williams agreed with every question the defense attorney posed to him except for the attempt to characterize him as an angry black man. And he even handled that calmly.
In a tense exchange, bystander Donald Williams pushed back when the Derek Chauvin's attorney asked whether he grew more and more angry with Chauvin during the fatal arrest of George Floyd.
"I stayed in my body. You can't paint me out to be angry."
