I believe a violation was called on that shot, but I could be wrong.

I believe that he "made" that shot right down the street at the former Hartford Civic Center (now XL Center). The Celtics played as few preseason, and regular season, "home" games here, back when we were a "major league" market. Goodbye Whalers. Goodbye Celtics. Hello Sun.
