The Celtics needed every split second of Game 6 to come out victorious against the Heat, as Derrick White hit a buzzer-beating putback with 0.1 seconds left.
But observers on social media noticed that it appears as if officials gave Boston too much time with a pivotal clock reset.
With Boston leading 102-100 in the final seconds, Al Horford fouled Jimmy Butler in the act of shooting beyond the three-point line, giving Miami a chance to take the lead. The referees reviewed the play to see where Butler’s feet were relative to the arc and to make sure they set the clock correctly.
