TNT uploads incorrect graphic in Celtics vs Heat game-6

There was a stunning turn of events during Game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference finals between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat. An erroneous graphic uploaded by TNT caused confusion and frenzy among NBA fans.

With only seconds left on the clock and during an intense moment of gameplay, it became evident that the Miami Heat would soon secure their spot in the NBA Finals. Celtics' guard Marcus Smart missed his chance at making a game-changing three-pointer.

However, the game took an unexpected twist when Derrick White of the Celtics put in an offensive rebound with just 0.1 seconds left on the clock, forcing a Game 7. The rapid turn of events seemed to have caught TNT's graphic specialists off guard.

As the buzzer sounded, TNT's score bug displayed Miami as the winner with a score of 103-102 and even included the phrase "MIA Wins Series 4-2." The graphic, which turned out to be incorrect, quickly spread across social media platforms, adding an ironic and iconic touch to the situation.

Upon further review, the referees confirmed that White's basket was legitimate and had been made in time. Consequently, the Celtics emerged with a narrow 104-103 victory in Game 6, leveling the series at three games apiece.
