    The last 11 seconds of Blazers/Magic was some of the least intelligent basketball I've seen compressed into such a short period of time in an NBA game.

    The Magic were up 1 with Pablo Ranchero at the line. He bricked both FTs. Then he was totally owned by Jeremi Grant on the inbounds play. Grant converted the basket and the FT to put the Blazers up 2. With 10.6 seconds left, this inbounds was a very low-percentage alley-oop play, but the Blazers were lucky and somehow hit the jackpot with it. Would have been much smarter run clock and take a shot as time expired.

    Then the Blazers played the stupidest out-of-bounds defense I've ever seen, allowing Ranchero a clear path to the basket from the top of the key, which he converted and was fouled. Of course, he again missed the FT. Game tied.

    Blazers inbound the ball and Ranchero immediately steals the ball from Grant with 1.6 seconds left. Game still tied.

    One the final play, Desmond Bane throws up a wild 3-pointer from the right elbow and it swishes at the buzzer. Magic win 115-112.

    It was low-IQ, but it was also definitely exciting. I hope someone puts the entire sequence on YT so it can be posted here. Mind-boggling.

    People can make fun of Victor shooting 3s all they want, but those two were assassin stuff right there. Steph couldn't have done it any better.

    What an amazing night of NBA basketball! Donovan Mitchell with a crazy difficult 3-pointer at 0.4 to tie Miami at the end of the 1st OT.

    EDIT: And then Andrew Wiggins of the Heat with an alley-oop dunk at the buzzer for the win. Just wow!
    Somebody on the Cavs did not switch. The only way to get off a legit shot in that situation is an alley-oop.
