VIDEO: Rondo saves loose ball in the least kind way imaginable

Always keep your head on a swivel, Marc Gasol.
The Memphis Grizzlies center let his guard down just a split second too early on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks and paid the price.
Gasol grabbed a defensive rebound and, as he turned around, Rajon Rondo was there to poke the ball free. Worse yet, Rondo nearly sent it out of bounds. In order to keep the ball live, Rondo threw it at Gasol, bouncing it off of an unfortunate area of his body and back out of bounds to keep it Mavericks' ball.
That's an award-winning highlight right there.
