Not quite the very greatest — that’s still Duke/Kentucky — but it’s in the pantheon. Four hours, six overtimes, eight foul-outs, 244 points, and none of it would have happened if the refs had gotten the call right on the buzzer-beater at the end of regulation. Watch it yourself; it comes at around 2:00. How do you not give the shooter the benefit of the doubt when it’s that close?
