After Jokic adjusted, he made the first free throw steadily.
The crowd erupted in cheers.
Then, silence returned.
It was the crucial second free throw that Jokic failed to make.
But at that moment, JR rushed to grab the offensive rebound!
Seeing James in front of him, JR quickly dribbled to the three-point line.
His first reaction was to find Hansen, but Huoledi and Davis immediately cut off his connection with Hansen.
At this point, JR, who was unguarded, entered a state of mental short-circuit.
It wasn't until Jokic frantically signaled under the basket that he realized he should shoot.
But by that time James was already upon him, and in the last second, he tossed the ball to the unguarded Covington.
Covington, without a chance to adjust his shot, ultimately missed the basket, sending the game into overtime.
It was then that Coach Malone suddenly appeared very angry on the sidelines, shouting loudly at the referee.
