EducatedBet…The Right Call!

The 76ers saw Devin Brown’s shot fall short, heard the buzzer and darted toward the locker room for an apparent victory celebration.

Game over? Not so fast. Officials reviewed the final sequence for several minutes before deciding that Sixers center Samuel Dalembert fouled Brown with 0.2 seconds left and brought Philadelphia back to the court for the free throws. Minutes after the game was seemingly over, Brown sank the pressure-packed free throws to lift the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 91-90 win over the Sixers on Monday night and clinch the fourth seed in the East. Because field-goal attempts and fouls at the end of each quarter are reviewable, the refs took their time to make sure the right call was made. Dalembert was whistled for his sixth foul for making contact on Brown’s drive to the hoop.

If you watched this game or even the highlights of it you can clearly see that Brown gets fouled with time left on the clock. It was an easy call that and the right call was made. But give Brown some credit he makes two huge pressure free throws at the end of the game. This gave Cleveland the four seed and home court in the first round of the playoffs which I think they will win easily. I also think, this is going out on a limb that the Cavs can beat the Celtics in the second round if they get matched up…you heard it first hear folks at EDUCATEDBET.COM…Now watch it happen!
