During the Eastern Conference first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers pulled off a fantastic sequence for two points against the visiting Orlando Magic.
On the basket, Cavs guard Darius Garland made a beautiful pass to fellow guard Caris LeVert, who made a falling layup despite tough defense from Magic forward Paolo Banchero and drew a foul in the process.
As Garland went up to LeVert to congratulate him on the play, he made the funniest gesture to express his disbelief in what his teammate pulled off.
Garland’s bewildered celebration really was just as enjoyable to watch as LeVert’s stellar play.
Fantastic finish from LeVert but I am in tears at Darius Garland's reaction 🤣 pic.twitter.com/zGhous1u5K

We’ll see how far the four-seed Cavaliers can make it in this year’s Eastern Conference gauntlet, but plays and celebrations like this from LeVert and Garland will keep the team incredibly entertaining for as long as they’re playing.
At the least, this is such a fun highlight so early in this year’s playoffs.
