Not every incredible play goes into the scorebooks.
A clutch touchdown gets called back for holding. A windmill dunk comes a quarter-second after a whistle. A game-changing historical moment simply ... doesn't happen. But everyone still remembers, because something about a play that gets called back ennobles it in our minds.
A play like that just happened in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics. With just over six minutes left in the third quarter, Knicks forward OG Anunoby attacked the basket for a poster slam.
