T.J. McConnell has built his career on making the right play at the right time, and this moment exemplifies his court awareness. With the shot clock winding down and just three seconds remaining in the first quarter, the veteran point guard surveys the floor from the top of the key. Spotting Bennedict Mathurin drifting to the right wing, McConnell whips a perfect no-look pass through traffic. Mathurin catches and fires in one motion, burying the three-pointer at the buzzer to give Indiana a 27-26 lead in this November 29, 2025 thriller at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. · Nov 30, 2025
