The Phoenix Suns were down one point to the Los Angles Clippers with 0.9 seconds left on the clock at the end of Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.
The Suns had no timeouts left, but they essentially earned a free one when referees reviewed who last touched the ball on the previous possession.
The call went against the spirit of the rule and angered fans watching, but it turned into an ultimate “ball don’t lie” moment when Clippers star Paul George missed two free throws on the other end.
1 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft ahead of Luka Doncic and Trae Young, finished the lob for his first signature NBA moment.
The series isn’t over for the Clippers yet: they were also down 0-2 against the Mavericks and Jazz before coming back to win each series earlier in these playoffs.
