He asked about "before Ayton touched it".

I'd say that before Ayton touched it - it was a free ball for anyone to go after. So in theory - I'd assume that Zubac could've gone through the bottom of the basket to knock it away before Ayton touched it.

It was an awesome play - great pass. Great screen. Great finish. Really amazing to watch in real-time.

I was curious how much time they would put on the clock after the shot. I was OK with them saying it only took .2 seconds for Ayton to catch and flush.

Immediately after Ayton’s inbounds lob dunk, referee Curtis Blair ...

Can you have basket interference from an inbounds pass?

That’s actually a really good question.

6/23/21 4:05am

I don’t think it would have counted if it had gone in without being touched…

I don't think that's his question. His question (correct me if I'm wrong) is:

So then hypothetically could Zubac have gone through the bottom of the basket

Wouldn’t it be considered a shot at that point by Ayton? Good question though…

Yes, goaltending can only happen on a shot

Can he really go through the rim to block it? Seems like that would be illegal.

I agree. We could keep going on this too. Is he allowed to hang on the rim and

Using the rim to get an advantage is definitely illegal, but I don’t know what

Yeah, it’s no different than a tip off. If they had a tip off at the free throw

Jay Kay

Yeah, I guess so. That would've been smart.

6/23/21 12:15pm

The answer is no. Either offense or defense could have interfered w/out penalty.

Zubac would have knocked the ball away but his hand hit the rim

Correct - radio guys said it is not a “goal attempt” and thus no goal attending

I looked through the rule book and I think going through the rim is illegal

My question is what caused the clock to immediately stop after the dunk?

The rules? Clock stops on made baskets in that situation.
