VIDEO: Kawhi Leonard Gets Away With Double Dribble on Crunch Time Fast Break in Game 3
By Sam Dunn
Ohhhhh boy. Do we have some controversy going down in Toronto? During the second overtime of Sunday night's Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Bucks and Raptors, Kawhi Leonard pilfered the ball on Milwaukee's end and raced down the court for a fast break flush. However, once given a closer look, it appears that the Claw committed a double dribble just as he crossed halfcourt.
Ouch. The refs missed it -- it's admittedly easy to miss at real-time speed -- and Toronto got away with a quick bucket that should have been a turnover according to the rules. This was a game they absolutely had to win in order to avoid going down 3-0 in the series, and the Bucks faithful will be smarting over the fact this became a sin of omission on the officials.
But what would the NBA Playoffs be without big-time drama? On to Game 4, folks.
