With 0.3 seconds on the clock, Bulls center Brad Miller threw up a prayer that momentarily gave his team a 91-90 win over the Nuggets.

However, referees reviewed the shot and waived it off after a lengthy delay, giving Denver a 90-89 win over Chicago.

"As soon as I saw the flight of the ball, I knew it was good," Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups said. "Then, I was sitting and laughing. Not so much about the shot, but looking at their reaction. They were dancing and jumping around like they had just made the Sweet 16. The longer it took, the better I felt. It was a great ending."

Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro appeared a little upset after the game.

"I thought it was good when I first saw it," Del Negro said. "That is irrelevant. The refs have to make the call. My understanding -- 0.3 is enough time to catch and shoot. But I guess the ball was on his fingertips, probably. The refs made the call after looking at it about 20 times."
