SALT LAKE CITY – The Delta Center crowd was up in arms after a Utah Jazz fan was nearly cheated out of a car he should have won.
At halftime of the game between the Jazz and Cavaliers, a fan was brought out and given a chance to knock down some shots to win a car.
A Jazz fan just hit a buzzer-beater to win a car in the Ken Garff promotion, but apparently, they are saying it was after the buzzer.
Fans in the arena are unhappy, and to be fair, I think he got it off.

Threes For Keys: Jazz Fan Wins Car
With the clock running down, the fan got one last shot off from the corner.
The ball found nothing but the net just as the buzzer sounded. At first, the shot was called off.
After some deliberation and an earful from Jazz fans, the people running the promotion gave the fan what he had earned.
