The final moments of the match turned into a free-throw contest. While the Clippers would try to foul the Suns, who made most of their clutch free-throws. On the other hand, the Clippers intentionally tried to miss some free throws to take possession for a 3-point play.
However, the Clippers had one of the most hilarious moments in recent times during the final seconds of the game that has made Cousins the center of all memes and trolls.
During the final moments of the match with 5.8 seconds remaining, Boogie Cousins intentionally missed a free throw but forgot the rules of the game that resulted in a violation.
Cousins, while shooting the free-throw, hit the board to gain possession for a 3-point play since the Clippers trailed 81-79. Though Cousins forgot that to miss the free throw intentionally, he needed to make the ball touch the rim of the basket.
Cousins has been great so far for the Clippers. The 4x NBA All-Star has embraced his role of coming off the bench and playing few minutes. Cousins has been averaging 7.8 PPG and 4.5 RPG in the 16-games he has played so far for the clippers on 53.7% shooting from the field and 42.1% from beyond the arc.
Though his botch-up during the recent Game five of the WCF will definitely earn him a spot in the popular segment Shaqtin a fool.
