Portland Trailblazers v. Houston Rockets


This is game six of the playoffs, played in Portland. Games won so far in this series is Portland 3, Houston 2. Last few minutes of this game were intense. The two teams had been neck and neck for most of the game. The Blazers were within a hairsbreadth of winning this game and cinching the series. The crowd was on their feet hollering. The decibel meter shows 120. Then the refs make two bad calls in Houston's favor, one after another, the crowd is booing. Houston scores and they are up by two points. There is 0.9 seconds (nine-tenths of a second) left on the clock. There is not enough time to shoot the ball, much less make any kind of play. Portland inbounds the ball to Damian Lillard, Trailblazer whiz kid, who is running across the court to receive it. Running puts him a couple of steps away from the Houston defenders. He catches the ball, turns and shoots and makes a 3-pointer! Portland wins!
