The old adage is to never save the ball under your opponent’s basket. Well, sometimes saving it under your own basket doesn’t work out so well, either.

Rajon Rondo normally has great court vision, but it’s hard to see why he threw this pass. He’s a bit of an assist hunter, so maybe he thought he’d get one for leading the break. Regardless, LeBron James will take the easy basket.
