Jusuf Nurkic sank a free throw with 0.8 seconds remaining in the game and the Phoenix Suns eked out a slim 114-113 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night before an American Airlines Center sellout crowd of 20,277.
Royce O’Neale missed a floater in the lane with the score tied at 113, and Nurkic grabbed the offensive rebound and was subsequently fouled by Daniel Gafford, who fouled out on the play. The referees went to the replay monitor to see if the foul by Gafford occurred before or after time expired, then confirmed that it happened with 0.
