It’s still something we’ve never seen before, even if it doesn’t technically count.

The official play-by-play will say that Boston Celtics wing Jae Crowder turned the ball over on an inbounds pass with 1.1 seconds remaining in the second quarter of Wednesday’s road game against the Indiana Pacers.
