In Reply to: Johnson was running onto the court when the game wasn't over... posted by Born2BBruin on December 09, 2024 at 17:57:34
Watching the last few seconds, if fans hit pause just after the ball banks in, they will get a clear view of what's happening on the bench. The clock automatically stops after the made basket but with time on the clock, if a bench player enters the court, it is considered unsportsmanlike conduct and a technical foul can be called. In paused action, it looked to me like Johnson was about 5 feet onto the court before Cronin got him back. In fact, one of the players on the bench had his arms spread wide keeping players on either side of him from entering the court.
