The Boston Celtics got a clutch three-pointer from Sam Hauser to force overtime against the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. Apparently, the basketball gods would only allow one.

Milwaukee dispatched Boston 131-125 on Tuesday, but the Bucks were much more in danger of losing to the Celtics than the score indicates. Celtics sharpshooter Sam Hauser was a big reason why.

Jrue Holiday got the Milwaukee Bucks fans buzzing after he hit an incredible 50-foot bomb as time expired in the third quarter of Tuesday’s game against the Boston Celtics.
