The 2008 Wimbledon final is a great answer.

I'm going to throw this moment out as well. I wouldn't necessarily rank it ahead of a bunch of things mentioned in this topic, but as far as pure excitement goes, this game, and this particular moment, were amazing:

This was game 1 of the 2008 western conference quarterfinals, featuring the Spurs (3rd seed) against the Suns (6th seed). I remember that in spite of the fact that the Spurs were seeded higher, it seemed like most people were predicting the Suns to win the series. Perhaps people just thought that it was the Suns' time to reverse their misfortune against the Spurs (I believe the Spurs eliminated the Suns in 2003, 2005, and 2007). I can't remember for certain how most of regulation went, but I think Phoenix led most of the game. They were up by 3 at the end of the fourth quarter, but Michael Finley sunk a 3 at the buzzer to send it to overtime. At the end of overtime, it was the same situation: Suns up by 3. So the Spurs draw up a play that gets the ball to TIM DUNCAN to shoot a 3...and he nailed it! You can hear the surprise in the announcer's voice as the ball gets over to Duncan. The Suns weren't even guarding him. Anyways, that sends the game to double overtime, where the Spurs pull out the win (and go on to win the series).

A lot of basketball games get incredibly boring at the end, with constant fouling to stop the clock. This game was not boring at all.
