Trevor Booker Beats Shot Clock With Ridiculous Backwards Shot

Trevor Booker stretched the definition of "shot" for this shot-clocking beating score in the final minute of the first half.

The word "shot" in the headline should probably be in quotes because this is not a basketball shot as imagined by you or I. Maybe it is a shot as designed by Rube Goldberg, but that's about it. As the first half came to a close, the Utah Jazz had kind of a wasted possession, running the shot clock down to .2 before a pass was deflected out of bounds. There was not enough time on the shot clock for a traditional catch-and-shoot play, so this is what Gordon Hayward and Trevor Booker came up with for the inbounds play. And, holy shit, it worked.

The Jazz dropped the game to the Thunder 99-94, but at least they've got this weird-ass shot to talk about.
