Here's something you don't see every day: The inbounder committing an offensive foul.
In a desperate attempt to beat the five-second count, Dion Waiters shoved Manu Ginobili right in front of the official, but no foul was given. Then again, Ginobili's foot was also on the line, so it wasn't exactly clean on either end.
Obviously Waiters can't shove Ginobili, but Ginobili can't go over the line either. pic.twitter.com/9SY1UO8FLH

Instead, the Spurs recovered the ball on a steal, but failed to score in the mad scramble to finish the game.
