Horford’s Game-Tying Shot Doesn’t Count as Bucks Edge Celtics

View the original article to see embedded media.

After a chaotic stretch of Game 3 between the Bucks and Celtics saw a controversial foul call, an intentionally missed free throw and a game-winning layup that wasn’t, the Bucks held serve at home and defeated the Celtics 103–101 to take a 2–1 series lead.

The chaos started with less than 10 seconds to play. With the Celtics trailing 103–100, Boston guard Marcus Smart gathered himself on the right wing and appeared to be going up into a three-point shot attempt. Smart was fouled by Bucks guard Jrue Holiday, but it was ruled as a foul on the floor, which gave Smart two free throws in the bonus instead of three free throws that would have potentially tied the game in the waning seconds.
