Everyone who has been to a stadium or a hall has already witnessed this phenomenon. That of the spectators who rush towards the exit even before the end of a match in order to avoid traffic jams or not to miss the last metro. We remember Game 6 between the Heat and the Spurs in 2013, when Miami fans left the room, thinking the title was over. They thus missed Ray Allen's miraculous shot.
All things considered, we saw the same situation Tuesday evening in Boston, while the Celtics were behind in money time against the Pacers. Some fans thought the game was over, and they missed Jaylen Brown's game-tying shot before the Celtics won in overtime.

Luke Kornet has a sense of priorities
In the end, the fans in question not only missed the best part of the evening, but also the best of Jayson Tatum who gave the Celtics victory 133-126 in overtime.

Father of two children, Luke Kornet recognizes the issues surrounding his offspring's sleep. “It can be a difficult situation. You have to be able to read the situation, how much more time do I give them? We are still somewhat in this position, »concludes the 28-year-old pivot, still on his theme.
