L2M Report Shows Clock Error Denied Celtics Extra Second for Final Game 6 Play

On Saturday, the NBA said in its Last Two Minute officiating report that one second should have been added to the game clock after Kelly Oubre Jr. fouled Kelly Olynyk in the closing stages of the Washington Wizards' 92-91 Game 6 win over the Boston Celtics.

According to the report, a foul was whistled at 2.7 seconds, "but the clock runs to 1.7 seconds before stopping. The clock should have been stopped earlier automatically on the whistle or by the neutral clock operator."

However, the NBA noted "instant replay is not permitted" in that situation.

The Celtics led the Wizards 91-89 with 7.9 seconds remaining after Al Horford banked in a go-ahead jumper, but John Wall answered four seconds later with a three to propel Washington back in front.

After Oubre fouled Olynyk, the Celtics were left with a small window to work with when it came to drawing up a potential game-winner.

Isaiah Thomas proceeded to hoist a triple from the left wing, but it clanged off back iron and careened to the floor.

With the playoff series tied 3-3, the Celtics and Wizards will now head to TD Garden for Monday night's Game 7.
