Celtics OUTLAST the BRAVES in Double Overtime

Tulsa Celtics
The Tulsa Braves came out on the offensive and took it to the Celtics Sunday morning during first half action. Luckily, we picked up the intensity during the 2nd half and won the game in the second overtime period.

Alan Santos drove an hit a 10 footer to give the Celtics a 2 point lead with 4 seconds left in regulation. During a timeout, I instructed the Celtics to foul after the inbounds pass since we had a foul to give, thereby shortening the game. Unfortunately, the inbounds pass went to the corner and we fouled the Brave while he was shooting a THREE POINTER!!!

He made the first two free throws to tie the game, but missed on his third attempt to force an overtime. Both teams scored and a second overtime was required.

Santos made a great drive from the baseline to score and this time it held up and we escaped with a 54-52 victory.

After the game, we learned that the Championship game would take place in one hour, as opposed to the 3 hour break that was on the original schedule.
