Off the top of my head...
1. Sundiata Gaines 3-pointer vs. Cleveland
2. Al Jefferson tip in at Toronto
3. Carlos Arroyo jumper vs. Denver
(edited)
Since Gaines' buzzer-beater to beat Cleveland, I can't think of any more off the top of my head until the two this season.
EDIT: Good work akirac73. I remember watching the Jefferson one but spaced it out. I'm surprised to hear that Carlos Arroyo ever had a buzzer-beating game-winner though.
The Millsap one wasn't a game-winner as it sent the game to OT The Big Al 3 wasn't a buzzer-beater but it was clutch. Anything from Arroyo would fall out of the 9-season window. AKMVP reminded me of one via rep comment: Mo Williams vs the Spurs. So unless anyone can think of any besides Gaines vs the Cavs, Jefferson vs the Raptors, and Mo vs. the Spurs, three it is.

I thought I could find a video on this but couldn't. I vaguely recall it was a jumper from the baseline near the jazz bench.

Actually the article said, in 9 seasons PRIOR to this season, only 3 buzzer beaters have happened. 2013 - 9 seasons = 2004. Arroyo's game winner happened in 2004.
2005-06 is the cutoff for 9 seasons.
I remember one from the 04-05 season, which would be just out of the 9-year window.
AKMVP reminded me that Al Jefferson 3 wasn't a game winner as well, it also wasn't a buzzer-beater. At least Millsap one was a buzzer-beater. There was also a Devin Harris buzzer-beater to tie the game.

A tie likely doesn't count in the statistic quoted since it didn't end the game with no time left on the clock.
