J.J. Barea tries to win the game at the buzzer, falls down instead

This is the shot you definitely don’t want if you’re trying to not lose.

After the Charlotte Bobcats scrambled to beat the shot clock and found gold with a deep Gerald Henderson three, only seconds remained for Minnesota to try to reverse the outcome. Down one, the Timberwolves gave the ball to J.J. Barea to try to take Kemba Walker off the dribble.

Instead, he got his foot tangled up with Walker’s, opting for the falling-down jump shot at the buzzer.

I guess they could have used more last-second J.J Barea half-court shots after all.
