The NBA says Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo committed a five-second violation on his game-winning shot against the New York Knicks on Wednesday night.
In the league's daily "Last Two Minute Report" -- its public review of officiating in the final two minutes of every NBA game -- the league says that Antetokoumpo committed a turnover on the final play when he dribbled with his back to the basket below the free-throw line extended for more than five seconds.
Players are not permitted to dribble with their backs or sides to the basket for more than five seconds if they are below the free-throw line extended.
