Crvena Zvezda was on the verge of an incredible victory, but Nikola Mirotic hit a fantastic three-pointer to force overtime, where Barcelona shined and outplayed the hosts 99-94.
In the replay of the most crucial play of the game, it seems Mirotic stepped on the line. He commented on that after the game.
“Seriously? I didn’t know. That’s new information for me. You see what the referees are like. How do they expect fans not to boo them?! I’m shocked, honestly. Those things shouldn’t happen, given that we have many cameras and systems to monitor what’s happening in the field. I don’t doubt what is being said, I believe I stepped on the line, but I didn’t know it until now“, Mirotić said.
The MVP of the EuroLeague of the 2021-2022 season stated that he had some luck hitting the game-tying shot at the buzzer.
“With some luck, the ball went in, but to be frank, Crvena Zvezda was better. They had the game in their hands, and I thought they’d win, but some small errors led to them losing the game,” Nikola Mirotić added.
