NBA: “Jeremy Grant’s buzzer beater shouldn’t have counted against the Phoenix Suns”
Jeremy Grant made the game-winning basket in the Portland Trail Blazers game against the Phoenix Suns, but the day after the game, the NBA declared that he was fouled.
The Portland Trail Blazers game against the Phoenix Suns had a – and absolute – protagonist. Jeremy Grant. The 28-year-old forward took the ball out of the corner and scored with a minute remaining to set up the winner before being smothered in the arms of his team-mates.
However, the day after the game, he saw the NBA declare that his basket should not have counted and the game should have gone into overtime. The reason; In front of the gate he fell on steps.
The NBA’s “Last Two Minute Report” had plenty of work from Portland’s game against Phoenix, highlighted by Jeremy Grant’s buzzer beater, who “catched the ball with one hand and then took three steps before making the shot.” This phase is therefore considered a fault by the referees.
