Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
T.J. McConnell momentarily lost his mind.
In an all-out effort to prevent a game-winning layup in the dying seconds of a tied game, McConnell tackled Orlando Magic power forward Serge Ibaka with a dangerous drag-down under the net.
Ibaka stayed down for a while before getting up to drill the go-ahead free throws earned from McConnell's flagrant-1 foul.
