Rudy Gay had 23 points and nine rebounds and the Sacramento Kings beat Toronto 102-99 on Sunday night after waiting out a video review to see if the Raptors had forced overtime on Terrence Ross' 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Ross grabbed a deflected pass, took two dribbles and made a 33-footer, but the officials ruled time had expired.
Ross clearly got the shot off in time in accordance to the shot-clock on the court, but it was ruled that there was a clock malfunction and the clock started late.

(2/2) Ruling: Clock started late and should have run to 0.0 before Ross' shot released.

Fans took to Twitter following the game to voice their frustration over the questionable call.
The @Raptors were hosed by the NBA ref crew tonight. Pitiful that that wasn't called a tying basket. And that's coming from an LAL fan.

How do you account for Ross not having ability to accurately see remaining time in game? @NBA @NBAOfficial #Raptors paying fans want to know
