Aaron Nesmith’s debut Pacers season was not without the occasional highlight play, credit to his other-worldly athleticism. This drive along the baseline after attacking a close-out resulted in Nesmith putting Cav’s big man Jarrett Allen all over a poster. Gainbridge Fieldhouse was captivated in collective disbelief as it witnessed one of the most disrespectful dunks of the year.

2. Andrew Nembhard nails game winner over LeBron James
Andrew Nembhard salvaged an otherwise lackluster night for the blue and gold by sinking a last-second 3-point shot over LeBron James. The Pacers risked a losing streak in the beginning of the dreaded west coast road trip when Nembhard’s heroics lifted them to a win over the Lakers. The on-court anarchy that ensued following the buzzer drew even Kevin Pritchard out of his seat and into the fray.
