Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum traveled prior to his game-winning buzzer-beater in overtime Saturday versus the Toronto Raptors, per the league's last-two-minute report.

However, the officials also missed Raptors guard Davion Mitchell fouling Jaylen Brown just before Tatum's travel.

Late in the fourth quarter, the report found that Jakob Poeltl should've been called for an offensive three-second violation. The referees failed to call a foul on Tatum against Poeltl on the same possession as well.

Tatum had 24 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists in the 126-123 victory despite shooting 7-of-19 from the field and 5-of-12 from three. RJ Barrett recorded his first career triple-double with 25 points, a career-high 15 assists, and 10 rebounds. Poeltl also reached a new career high in points with 35.

Toronto has now lost seven straight games and its first nine road contests this season. The 2-10 Raptors sit last in the NBA. Boston is second in the East at 11-3.
