Rock, Paper, Scissors ... SHOOT! Watch How Celtics Made In-Game Decision

The funniest highlight of the season didn't involve a basketball.

There wasn't much out of the ordinary to note in Sunday night's Celtics over the Heat win in Miami. Nothing much except for their game within the game.

With star scorer and ace free-throw shooter Isaiah Thomas ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul late in the fourth quarter, Boston needed someone to go to the line to shoot a technical free throw (the team gets to choose a player to shoot technical free throws.) The Celtics handled it like any true pros would: With a spirited game of rock, paper, scissors.

Jae Crowder's paper conquered Avery Bradley's rock (even though Crowder seemed to "shoot"), but Crowder couldn't cut it anyways.
