game winner
Final point scored
A game winner is the play, shot, or goal that secures victory—the decisive moment that ends the contest: She hit the game winner with two seconds left.
In sports, it specifically means the score that puts a team ahead for good, distinguishing it from earlier points that were later answered.
The term also applies to the player who makes such a play: He's been a game winner his whole career.
