Nikola Mirotic hit an incredible buzzer-beating three-pointer to send the game against Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade to overtime. However, it seems like the shot shouldn't have counted.

With 3 seconds to go on the game clock, Mirotic received the ball down by three. The Montenegrin forward faked out Filip Petrusev and hit a clutch triple to tie the game. However, it now seems that Mirotic stepped on the sideline before he took the shot.

Interestingly, one of the local journalists caught Mirotic after the game and explained the situation to him. The player was shocked.

"Seriously? I didn't know. That's new information for me. You see what the referees are like... How come they don't whistle? I'm shocked, honestly," Mirotic told. "These things shouldn't happen, given that we have so many cameras and systems for monitoring events on the court. I have no doubts about what is being said, I believe I stepped on the line but I didn't know it until now."

Barcelona ended up winning the game after overtime.
