This was an unusual sight.
We're used to watching big men square off at center court in a battle for the first possession of every NBA game. But on Sunday, 5-foot-9 Isaiah Thomas went up against 5-foot-10 Tyler Ulis for a jump ball after the point guards got tangled up.
The ultra-competitive Thomas ended up winning the tip for his Boston Celtics.
Here it is in slow-mo:
