Some old-school basketball fans lament the NBA's rise of three-pointers. Yet even the most stubborn traditionalist would acknowledge that a player should fire away from behind the arc if down three during the final seconds.

The Chicago Bulls faced that scenario Wednesday night, trailing 100-97 to the Washington Wizards with 5.7 seconds remaining.

Chicago inbounded the ball to Zach LaVine, who already attempted 11 three-pointers during the game at Capital One Arena. For some reason, he didn't make it 12.

[{"selector":"#anim-89563055-6e5c-4eed-96c2-dcc0a8f608ce [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.240844612732676%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12178f02-0733-48df-b81a-47e0f7228d6b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-102.55102%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f5fdd2d0-4b1f-4c28-81a0-4700fb2627a0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1bd32339-38b0-440e-aab8-eb4cbf7b4387","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit:- Google Learn more

LaVine drove closer to the basket and missed a mid-range jumper. Washington grabbed the rebound as time expired to secure the win.

[{"selector":"#anim-09e076ce-5f37-4e40-b750-7bb389c3fa5f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-df3e279c-df01-4f7c-92f1-df3f654ded99","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-102.55102%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5530df74-a58f-41c5-818d-90fc014e1a92","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-96135fdf-ecd2-4b24-9263-8507c10c261c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit:- Google Learn more

Fans were confused about the befuddling sequence.

LaVine likely expected the referees to call a foul. Even so, there's little explanation for taking the two.

The 27-year-old should have kicked it out to a teammate once he didn't hear a whistle. Washington had no qualms leaving Alex Caruso open by double-teaming the two-time All-Star.

Head-scratching ending aside, LaVine scored a game-high 38 points. He's now averaging 23.8 points per game for the 19-23 Bulls, who rank 10th in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Wizards trail them by one game for the final play-in spot, so Wednesday's loss could come back to bite the Bulls. They'll look to bounce back Friday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
