MIAMI -- A critical 3-pointer that helped the Washington Wizards defeat the Miami Heat should not have counted because of an uncalled traveling violation, the NBA said Tuesday.
The league said Bradley Beal traveled on the play where he passed to Gary Neal for a 3-pointer with just over a minute left in Miami on Monday night. Instead of the Heat having the ball down by two, they took over down by five and wound up losing 114-103.
Beal's uncalled travel was one of 14 plays reviewed by the league as part of its normal procedure after close games and the only call deemed to be incorrect.
