Donovan Mitchell’s 71-point game should never happened, according to the NBA.
The league has ruled in its Last Two Minute Report that Mitchell committed a
lane violation when he followed an intentionally missed free-throw with a
miraculous put-back layup to force overtime against the Bulls on Monday.
Mitchell scored 13 points in overtime to reach a career-high 71, marking the
highest scoring performance since Kobe Bryant famously scored 81 points in
2006, and making him just the seventh player to ever reach the 70-point mark.
However, had Mitchell been correctly whistled for crossing the free-throw
line before the ball hit the basket, he would have finished with 56 points
and a loss, instead of 71 points and a win.
While some may feel the NBA are acting as the fun police in this instance,
the league is at least trying to keep their referees accountable.
However, you could also be excused for choosing to ignore this report and
simply enjoy a historic occasion.
官方承認 米秋在最後第四節比賽末的罰球已經違例 71分比賽不應該存在
最後他應該只拿56分且騎士隊輸球
