Referee scoring blunder cost Hornets a win vs. Heat. What happened, why it wasn’t fixed

Another game, another officiating blunder doomed the Charlotte Hornets.

Less than two weeks after the Hornets got burned by a bad call from the officials against the Cavaliers, it happened again in Thursday night’s 111-107 double-overtime loss to Miami at Spectrum Center.

Miami guard Kyle Lowry’s shot with 2:03 remaining in the first overtime was ruled a 3-pointer, although replays showed Lowry’s right foot was clearly inside the line. That bucket gave Miami a 92-91 edge in the first overtime period.

Since we're going to double-OT, seems like a good time to revisit this Kyle Lowry OT 3-pointer.
