The Pacers were a fraction of a second late from tying Game 5 against the Raptors

The Indiana Pacers came oh-so-close to forcing overtime against the Toronto Raptors in Game 5. Solomon Hill hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game at the end of regulation, but the ball left his hand a tenth of a second late. Toronto wins, and this one will sting for the Pacers.

Toronto outscored the Pacers 25-9 at the end of regulation. The Raptors now lead the series 3-2.

Reminder: this is the second playoff game to be decided by, like, .001 seconds.
