This video was taking from a league championship for Yugoslavia's equivalent of the NBA. Below is a copy of the "Yahoo post" that explains what's going on since the video is not in English.
With eight seconds remaining in overtime of the NLB League championship and his team, Partizan, leading by one point, former Mississippi State star Lawrence Roberts missed two free throws. Their Croatian opponent, Cibona, grabbed the rebound and quickly moved the ball down the court. With 0.6 seconds left, Bojan Bogdanovich hit a 3-pointer, giving Cibona a two-point lead and setting off a raucous celebration by the home crowd, players and coaches. And then things got even crazier.
Here's the video, taken from the top with Roberts' missed free throws. Things get so nuts in the aftermath of Cibona's go-ahead shot that the Croatian TV broadcast doesn't capture Partizan's miracle buzzer beater because it was too busy showing Cibona's premature celebration. The replay of the heaved prayer by Dusan Kecman is shown at the 4:27 mark.

This is why you never celebrate early!
