Overview
- Utah edged Boston 105-103 on a Jusuf Nurkic putback with 0.6 seconds remaining after the Celtics had tied the game at the line.
- Crew chief Kevin Scott said the no-call stemmed from the crew observing Keyonte George slip before Jaylen Brown also slipped, with the ball already loose.
- Brown blasted the officiating postgame, saying the missed call “cost us the game,” and outside observers note he could face a fine, which has not been announced.
- The sequence preceded a transition basket for Lauri Markkanen, and Boston’s final inbounds ended with an offensive foul on Brown.
- Boston fell to 3-5 with a second straight home loss, shooting 11-for-51 from three as Brown scored 36 points but went 0-for-9 from deep.
