Saying it fell "perfectly to him" is like saying Kahwi just made a "contested jump shot"
And as far as the moment...I'd argue down 1 with 0.5 seconds left while being down 3-2 in the series in game 6 of the conference finals, while trying to comeback from down 3-0 is actually a bigger moment than tied in the game, while being in a series tied 3-3 in game 7 of the conference semi-finals.
Kawhi doesn't get the bounce and it goes to OT. That play tonight doesn't happen and the Heat are off to the finals.

I’m not saying it was not a great play, it is just no where near the same difficulty. The dexterity and lift/backspin Kawhi needed to pull that off makes it in a league of its own. I’ll leave it at that.
