The Celtics led the series 3-2 against this duel and were able to finish it.
Kemba Walker had that opportunity late in the fourth quarter.
There are 4 seconds to play and with a score of 98:98, the 30-year-old Boston defender launched himself into the penalty area and attacked the basket. Although the throw-in did not reach the goal, the Celtics basketball players demanded to score the foul.
But the umpires’ whistles were quiet and the teams had to play two more overtures, which were more successful for the Raptors: the champions defeated 125: 122 and led the series to the decisive seventh game.
The NBA has explained that OG Anunoby has indeed unduly hindered Walker’s hand, so if it weren’t for that mistake, the Celtics might already be gearing up for a fight in the Eastern Conference finals with the Miami Heat.
Additionally, the league acknowledged that during the first overtime, the judges did not record the steps of Raptors defender Norman Powell.
The latest 2-minute report from the NBA says two crucial calls were missed in last night’s thriller 2OT between the Celtics and Raptors, both against Boston.
The first missed call was that OG Anunoby fouled Kemba Walker in the arm in this possible game-winning shot attempt. pic.twitter.com/xUNFOA6QtH
