Alec Stockton was supposed to be out of the game after being initially ejected for a flagrant foul penalty two late in the first until the refs reversed the call.

Tasked to deliver the winning shot, Stockton didn’t fail his coaches, much to the team’s delight as they pushed the series to a Game 4 on Friday.
“Shout-out to the referees for that call, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for that,” quipped the FEU product as the franchise scored its first playoff win.
