A Shot to Remember
When the clock was ticking down to the final eight seconds, and Melbourne held both the ball and a one-point lead, it seemed like the endgame for the JackJumpers. But in came Jack McVeigh, shattering all expectations with a shot that will be etched in the annals of NBL history.
McVeigh: The Game Changer
In his own words, McVeigh recollected the game-changing moment, “To be honest, I’ve got almost absolutely no idea what happened … I thought they (United) were going to call a time-out, but they didn’t have one. All of a sudden I was chucking the ball.”
The next thing he knew, he was being mobbed by his teammates, in a state of euphoric confusion. “Next thing you know I was getting tackled by the team, so absolutely no idea what happened … I blacked out.”
Looking Forward to Game 4
The Championship Series is far from over. Tasmania and Melbourne are set to face off again in Game 4, live on ESPN via Kayo, at 7:30pm AEDT on Thursday night. With the momentum from McVeigh’s unforgettable shot, the JackJumpers are poised to secure title glory in front of a raucous MyState Bank Arena crowd.
