The end of the Brooklyn Nets-Los Angeles Lakers game was already a barrel of confusion, with coach Jason Kidd apparently telling second-year guard Tyshawn Taylor to run into him, giving the team an extra timeout and allowing the team to draw up a play in crunch time. But it appears the Lakers had a few tricks up their sleeves too: two of their players were actually in the huddle with assistant coach John Welch and the team’s players as they drew up the play.

Lakers guard Xavier Henry acknowledged that they snuck in the huddle to a fan:

This may have been the most amazing ending to a game I’ve ever witnessed. Only bad part: the Nets lost, 99-94.
