A couple of things. First, why didn't the other team provide at least 1 basketball? Do visiting teams now have to travel with 5 balls to make sure they have one?
Second, why didn't someone just go up Wal-Mart and pick one up? Iirc the video shows 70 minutes until game time. 10 minute round trip to the store and they'd have a ball.
Props to all the players going along with it. They fake bounce pass and everything.
