Chicago Bulls game ends in controversial loss; last second call discussed on Twitter
Rarely are the phrases ‘down to the last second’ and ‘close game’ as true as they were Tuesday night in the United Center. With 22,000 on hand, the Chicago Bulls hosted the Denver Nuggets in a game which came down to a fraction of its final second. After time had expired, the Bulls game-winning shot was reviewed and eventually ruled no good – Bulls 89, Nuggets 90.
Down by two, with ten seconds left, Bulls guard Derrick Rose went to the free throw line. Rose would hit both of his free throws, the game tied at 89-89.
With only .6 seconds left, Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups was fouled and given two free throws. Purposely missing the second, the rebound was recovered by Bulls center Joakim Noah who quickly called a time-out. The Bulls would get the ball, down by one with .3 seconds on the clock.
In desperation, the ball was inbounded to sub Brad Miller, who made a game-winning shot as time expired. However, the Bulls amazing last second win would soon turn into a heart-breaking defeat; though the shot was initially counted, officials ruled Miller’s game-winner came after the buzzer.
Across the country, Twitterers felt confident Miller got off his shot in time. If it was too close to call, many said the call on the floor shouldn’t have been overturned.
