The last time the NBA mandated a replay was during the 1982-83 season. On Nov. 30, 1982, the Lakers defeated the Spurs in double overtime. With three seconds remaining in regulation and the Lakers trailing by 3, tricky Norm Nixon had gone to the line to shoot 2 for Los Angeles. He made the first but then faked his second free throw, drawing players from both teams into the lane. The refs called a double lane violation and ordered a jump ball. The Lakers won the jump, Nixon hit a field goal, the game went into overtime, and the Lakers ultimately won. But since Nixon never released the ball when faking his free throw, there never should have been a lane violation—the refs should have just made Norm shoot his freebie. The Lakers and Spurs thus replayed the final three seconds of regulation in April 1983. This time around, the Spurs prevailed, 117-114.
