Stotts’ Late-Game Challenge Draws Notice

The Portland Trail Blazers escaped from Dallas with a 121-119 comeback victory over the Mavericks on Sunday night, but it didn’t come without its fair share of drama.

Up 120-119 with just 8.4 seconds remaining it appeared as if Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard fouled Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith while going for a rebound. In past seasons, Finney-Smith would be shooting free throws to spot his team a one point advantage with under ten seconds remaining. On Sunday night, Terry Stotts decided to use his coaching challenge - and he won.
