Incredible Basketball Finish

[Ryan Scott]

Here's a Youtube clip of the final few seconds of the NLB Liga between Cibona Zagreb and Partizan Belgrade. Cibona is the home team in white; Partizan is the road team in black. This is a regional league, so it is also a national rivalry between Cibona (Croatia) and Partizan (Serbia).

Coach Poteet can give us the specifics, but there is a lot more "live ball" inbounding in international play than the basketball we're used to watching in the US.

I love that the jerseys of both players and officials carry sponsorship. How much longer until that happens here?

There was no timeout after the made basket by the team in white. The team in black inbounded the ball and shot from beyond half court. The mistake by the the team in white was to celebrate too soon and not defend the the inbounds.

One of the comments on the video said it best, "epic fail."

Or, epic win, I suppose!

The entire place was stunned.
