I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a crowd take as emotional of a swing as the Cibona crowd in the NBL (Adriatic League) finals.
First, the team in white (Cibona) hits a shot from the corner to take the lead, but watch as the team in black (Partizan) hits a half court shot before the buzzer to win the game.
The crowd is quite literally stunned.
It’s the fourth-straight time that Partizan has won the NLB title.
The Celtics went up 3-0 with a 100-98 win over the Heat. Here is Pierce’s game-winner:
Pierce always wants to get to the same spot — about 20-feet out to the right of the top of the key. The defender needs to force him left and make him uncomfortable. By having his left leg back, the defender invited Pierce to go right, and that played right into his hands.
It looks like Miami is done.
This is the guy that people often refer to as the greatest defender to have ever played the game. And somehow, I’m fine with that in the wake of this clip.
I wonder if they’ll invite him back…
