Darren Collison knew time was running out, so as the pass arrived to him in the final seconds, he jumped in the air, as if to expedite his shot’s process. Instead of catching and squaring and shooting, Collison really just pushed the ball toward the hoop – it was more like an illegal volleyball set – and improbably, it went in.

Too bad the lottery-bound Mavericks lost in overtime, 111-105. Kevin Durant led everyone with 40 points.
