The San Antonio Spurs pulled that off during Game 6 of their NBA playoff series against the Dallas Mavericks, with the Spurs sportin six players on the floor for the final play of the game. San Antonio was trailing at the time, and–even with six men on the floor–couldn’t score a tying basket. However, this still shows that referees need to be paying closer attention.
