San Antonio Spurs: Are challenge flags about to hit the NBA?

The San Antonio Spurs are in Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. It’s the middle of the third quarter and every bucket matters towards the ultimate goal: The championship. Kawhi Leonard is there, the Celtics have Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, and it’s a game of top talents in their prime with a title on their mind.

With the game at 65-62, Celtics, in the third quarter, Manu Ginobili barely toes the baseline and finds Leonard, who nails a 3-pointer to tie the game at 65-65 … or did he? Celtics coach Brad Stevens throws a challenge flag on the court which stops play and sends the referees to the monitor.
