With 0.5 seconds left on the clock and the Charlotte Hornets down by just one point, Marco Belinelli needed to do something. Standing on the right sideline with nowhere to inbound the ball, the Hornets guard decided to bounce the orange off Marcus Morris’ back, then calmly shoot the 3-pointer.
Miraculously, the ball banked in and gave the Hornets the win.
Or did it?

Unfortunately for Belinelli, there wasn’t enough time on the clock and the officials disallowed the basket.
Shucks.
