In a game that saw the Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves fire up just shy of 100 combined three-pointers, the most comical attempt of the night proved to be perhaps the most important. Witness: Derrick White’s bank shot three-pointer to give the Celtics an eight-point lead with 2:08 to play.

You can argue this shot’s status as a “dagger,” given how the Wolves battled back in the ensuing two minutes to come within a bricked Anthony Edwards pull-up from forcing overtime.
