Decryption: how Boston lost Game 3 to Toronto on action – basketball – NBA

Five tenths of a second is an eternity in the NBA. A lapse of time capable of changing the course of a match. The rules of the NBA are clear: if the clock shows three tenths or more, a player is considered to have time to catch the ball and shoot in a hurry before the buzzer. Below, only “tip-in” baskets are accepted. While they led 103 to 101 with half a second to defend, the Boston Celtics conceded a particularly frustrating setback Thursday night against the Toronto Raptors (104-103). OG Anunoby, hero of the match, scored three points to the victory from the left corner, on a long pass from point guard Kyle Lowry on a throw-in.
