You can't take away a basket becuase a challenge results in stop-play and ball in air. If there is a no call there should be continuation of play. This is twice Iv'e seen this occur and should never happen.

They claim whistle blew when no possession.  I didn't see it tht way.

Always seems to take the ball and a basket away from us.

If they want to take away the follow-up basket that’s fine, but clearly the ball should have been the Celtics.  It’s not like the ball was rolling around and one team stopped going after it — it was milliseconds from Williams’ hands.  They should have a 0.3 seconds rule like they do for minimum time to get out a shot — players aren’t going to stop going for the ball in under that amount of time.

Yes, regardless of the challenge outcome - how do you take the ball out of our possession and make it a jump ball?? That's CRAZY and luckily we had Timelord in there to jump albeit a bad toss by the ref almost negated that.
