The Minnesota Timberwolves have dug themselves quite a hole having lost the first two games of the Western Conference Finals to the Dallas Mavericks at home. In game two, they fumbled the game away and Luka Doncic hit the game-winning three-point shot with 3.0 seconds left in the game.
The real question is: did Doncic travel on his game-winning shot?

If you watch when Doncic steps back, he moves his right foot, also known as his pivot foot, back behind the three-point line. You aren't allowed to move your pivot foot once you stop your dribble, which would become traveling. So, did Doncic dribble here? Some thought that he did.
I remember a time when you couldn't re-set your feet before shooting a three without being called for traveling. Maybe they just don't call that anymore.
