NBA Admits Massive Missed Calls in Lakers vs. Grizzlies

The NBA has released their Last Two Minute Report for this game

Despite being without almost all of their usual rotation players, the Memphis Grizzlies went down to the wire with the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night. This was a game the Lakers desperately needed for seeding purposes, but they still nearly fell to Memphis despite none of the Grizzlies' best players being in uniform.

The NBA has released their Last Two Minute Report for this game, and it includes three missed calls in the final two minutes, all of which benefited the Lakers, and two of which had a massive impact on the game.

According to the NBA, the first missed call in the final two minutes of this game came with 1:42 remaining when LeBron James should have been called for a traveling violation. The Lakers did not end up scoring on this play.

The next two missed calls did have a direct impact on the score, as the NBA admits they missed another traveling violation on James with 47.7 seconds remaining - right before he made a go-ahead layup.

The final missed call on the Last Two Minute Report came with 12.2 seconds remaining when the NBA says Lakers forward Rui Hachimura should have been called for a shooting foul on GG Jackson's layup attempt. This would have put Jackson at the line for two free throws with the Grizzlies trailing 121-118.
