Former Duke basketball star Grayson Allen lost the game for the Memphis Grizzlies.

Around the Duke basketball program, Grayson Allen is known as the hero who helped the Blue Devils to a National Title in 2015.

He’s a hated villain anywhere outside Durham, though, and many people took joy in his failure on Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks (30-24).

With 2.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Allen rebounded a missed free throw by Luka Doncic, seemingly ending the game as the Memphis Grizzlies (27-26) led by two, 113-111, and the former Blue Devil being nearly a 90-percent free throw shooter.
