According to the NBA, Jayson Tatum is the winner of the game against Raptors

NEW YORK – Jayson Tatum traveled briefly before making the game-tying three-pointer at the overtime buzzer that gave the Celtics a 126-123 victory about the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night, the NBA said.

Tatum moved his pivot foot with 3.4 seconds left in overtime and should have been called for travel, the NBA revealed Sunday in its Last Two Minute Report.

The NBA publicly releases reports of official events – calls and notable non-calls – where games were at or within three points at some point in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime.

The uncalled trip was one of two missed calls on the final possession.

The NBA also said Toronto’s Davion Mitchell should have been called for a foul on Jaylen Brown with seven seconds left. Had that been called, Brown would have gone to the foul line with the score tied at 123.

Play continued after Brown was knocked back, while Tatum already had the ball in his hands on the right wing. He shuffled his feet – the inappropriate travel – before stepping back and shooting over Toronto’s Ochai Agbaji.
