Israel's Maccabi Tel-Aviv basketball team became the first international team to beat an NBA team in 17 years. Seriously.

'This is history'
Israeli club team Maccabi Tel Aviv stuns Raptors

TORONTO (AP) -- Maccabi Tel Aviv beat an NBA team for the first time in 27 years, topping the Toronto Raptors 105-103 on Sunday on Anthony Parker's jumper with 0.8 seconds left....

Toronto's loss was just the second by an NBA team in the 28 games held since the NBA sanctioned international competitions in 1987. The Atlanta Hawks lost to the Soviet national team 132-123 in 1988.
