Play of the Night

Utah Jazz Trevor Booker hit what is most likely the wackiest shot you'll see this NBA season against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With 0.2 seconds left on the shot clock, Booker received the inbounds pass and tipped it over his head, sinking the shot as the buzzer rang. He finished the game with eight points and nine rebounds.
