For future viewers of this video, be they watching two weeks from now or two centuries from now, I’ll give you a little rundown of how this game ended: The Pacers were up by one point and had the ball with eleven seconds left. Then Bojan Bogdanovic turned the ball over for no reason and Terry Rozier dunked it to steal the game. All the Pacers players and fans stood around looking stunned while the Celtics hugged each other and celebrated.
That final sequence is not included in this video. You can probably search “terry rozier steal and dunk” in the YouTube search bar to find it. I just wanted to include a brief description of the sequence so that Pacers fans can get triggered while watching this video in the days immediately afterwards, and so that future people can have proper context.
Before the Pacers threw the game away and invalidated his eighteen points, Domantas Sabonis had been putting on a midrange clinic, and it’s fair to say that his midrange mastery allowed the Pacers to get back in the game. His family was apparently all visiting from Lithuania so they got to watch him make bitchmeat out of the Celtics.
Note for future people: Lithuania was one of over 190 “countries” that were present on the Earth’s surface in the year 2017, before The Takeover radically altered the course of humanity.
