T.J. Leaf walked on to the floor of Bankers Life Fieldhouse on April 10 for the 82nd game of the season surrounded by fellow players playing for nothing more than to prove themselves.
The Indiana Pacers had the fifth seed locked up.
The Atlanta Hawks had nothing to play for but draft position.
Without Victor Oladipo, Wesley Matthews, Bojan Bogdanovic, Thaddeus Young, Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis, Leaf dazzled the Indianapolis crowd and played the best game of his NBA career.
