All these players are facing away from the shooter, btw. Didn't see ball coming. I say inadvertent.
In all of these cases it is obvious the original shot would have been no good. How do I know this? Because the deflection redirected it and caused it to go in.

No shot.

That said...how is it legal for a player to swing "...arms up into the air in attempt to screen defender." Is said defender sitting in a helicopter?
