By the NBA’s admission, the Boston Celtics should have had an extra second at the end of Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and Isaiah Thomas admitted he’s not thrilled about it.
The league’s last two minute report on the game revealed that the Celtics were deprived an extra second at the end of their 92-91 defeat to the Washington Wizards on Friday.

Point guard Isaiah Thomas noted that, while they couldn’t dwell on it, he was disappointed, as he could have had more time to make something happen before time expired.
