Stephen A. Smith was pretty critical on the referees’ decision to award a foul on Jimmy Butler’s shot with no time remaining in the clock. The ESPN’s analyst took to Twitter and called the decision “disgraceful”.

“That is absolutely, positively, a shameful call by Marc Davis. How can you make that ticky-taco call in that situation! I picked the Miami Heat to win this series, but to make that call in a time game with 0:00 on the clock is disgraceful. Bucks should’ve walked off before FT’s.”

Butler was perfect in the two free throws and gave his team a commanding lead with the Heat being two wins away from the Conference Finals.

The Bucks have underperformed in the series so far, with the sloppy offensive play. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who committed an unnecessary foul on Butler in the last play, seems really off until now against Miami.
