Raptors and Celtics conspire for the most perfect preseason finish ever
The final 11 seconds of the Raptors’ win over the Celtics Wednesday is a perfect encapsulation of the NBA preseason.
1. The Celtics, down two, blowing coverage on a full-court leak-out, which should end the game.
2. Toronto’s Julyan Stone going Full Raptor by missing the wide-open dunk to seal the game.
3. Boston’s Jordan Crawford airballing the potential game-winning stepback three after passing up a fairly open spot-up three.
This is the basketball version of Oscar bait.
