Rapid Recap: “F-ing disgraceful” buzzer-beater saves Raptors season

There are few things more sobering than a playoff buzzer-beater against your team.

The Celtics were 0.5 seconds from a commanding 3-0 lead against the Toronto Raptors. But credit goes to the whiny, floppy Kyle Lowry for a tremendous cross-court pass over Tacko Fall’s 9-foot wingspan to an open OG Anunoby whose three-pointer propelled the Raptors to a 104-103 victory in Game 3.

The shot not only ruined my buzz, but it also ruined a tremendous final two minutes where we saw some incredible passing from Jayson Tatum, Marcus Smart, and Kemba Walker (29 points, 9-15 FG).

To be honest, the Celtics were mediocre in the 2nd half. But it appeared they had done enough in the final two minutes to steal the win.

Update: Jaylen Brown is not f-ing happy:
