Jimmy Butler had 30 seconds that could have resulted in the team’s win. However, the Philadelphia 76ers star point guard lost the ball during when the game was tied and that allowed the Hawks’ John Collins to make a fadeaway jumper shot with 25 seconds left to the game for gaining the lead for the Hawks.
Butler still had the chance to redeem the team with 2.4 seconds left to the game and had two shots. First shot rattled and missed the basket. Second shot, clanged on the backside side of the basket rim.
Wilson Chandler of the 76er tied to slip under the basket to make a gimme tip-in shot after the second attempt failed but failed to do so. Thus the Friday night game of basketball between Atlanta Hawks VS Philadelphia 76ers ended with Hawks win by 123-121.
