Watch: This Jeremy Lamb game-winning shot was insane
The wildest basketball shot of the day did not come in the NCAA Tournament, but rather at the end of the Charlotte Hornets-Toronto Raptors game.
The Hornets had an inbounds situation down 114-112 with 3.1 seconds left. They passed to Jeremy Lamb, who lost the handle and picked up the ball behind halfcourt. He then threw up a heave that somehow banked in:

Unreal.
This stat says a lot about the winning shot:
Jeremy Lamb's game-winning buzzer-beater was from 48 feet, the second-longest game-winning buzzer-beater over the last 20 seasons. Tyreke Evans hit a 49-footer against the Grizzlies on Dec. 29, 2010.

Lamb had 13 points on 5/11 shooting in the 115-114 win. The Hornets barely remain in the playoff race at 34-39 and sit two games behind the Miami Heat for the eighth spot in the East.
