Trailing by three points in 2nd overtime and with just .09 left on the clock, the Utah Jazz attempted a quick three from an inbound pass that could have potentially tied the game at 140.
Immediately after Lauri Markkanen shot up a prayer from the corner, the referee blew their whistle, signaling a foul on the Suns’ Kevin Durant.
Which, in part, led Frank Vogel to quickly call for a challenge.

Ultimately ending the game with the Suns winning 140-137.
Here is the full explanation for why the call was overturned:
