VIDEO: Raptors' timeout negates DeRozan game-winner
John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
The Charlotte Hornets shot just 16.7 percent from the field in the fourth quarter Thursday, so the Toronto Raptors were in a position to steal a game they had no business winning.
After the Hornets lost the ball with time ticking away - and the refs stalling to grant the Raptors a timeout - DeMar DeRozan decided to hoist a 35-footer, which beat the clock and seemingly clinched an unlikely victory for the Raptors.
Too bad it didn't count due to a timeout called by coach Dwane Casey.
