The Pacers started their two-game set in Los Angeles with a 139-133 loss to the Clippers, using a familiar storyline no one would ever consider in Hollywood.
The Pacers trailed from the tip, but through a series of surges throughout the game, found themselves down just three points with 30 seconds remaining. The opportunity to steal an improbable win was still alive with plenty of time in a one possession game.
But the Clippers sideline out of bounds (SLOB for you NBA geeks) saw Torrey Craig chasing and then stop chasing Reggie Jackson, who took the inbounds pass, realized he was all alone and drove in for a layup.
