NEW YORK -- New York Knicks guard Courtney Lee said Washington assistant coach Sidney Lowe was on the court and shouting as if he was a defender near him, impacting his decision not to shoot a potential game-tying 3-pointer in the frantic final seconds of Thursday's night's game against the Wizards.
Replays show Lowe on the court between the Wizards' bench and the three-point arc near Lee, who hesitates to shoot an open 3-pointer after catching a pass from Carmelo Anthony.
A Washington defender then closes in on him and Lee drives and passes the ball away in the final seconds.
