Stan Van Gundy was as distraught about a loose ball as anyone ever has been

The Pistons had a chance to recover a loose ball, but instead the ball ended up out of bounds to set up a jump ball after officials were unable to determine possession.

It was a fairly standard play that gets lost as an inconsequential line in the play-by-play. Well, to everyone except for Stan Van Gundy.

Based on that reaction, you might think Van Gundy just witnessed the most heinous play in NBA history. Not just a random jump ball with 8 minutes to play.

We don't even know what Van Gundy is upset about. Maybe he thought his players should have corralled the ball. Maybe he thought it should have been ruled off of Boston. But, none of that really matters because Stan Van Gundy is the best and makes a random loose ball one of the most entertaining moments in the game.

The Pistons won the jump ball and went on to win the game so hopefully Stan is a little happier now.
