NBA Admits Big Missed Calls in Clippers vs. Grizzlies Game

The LA Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies played a close game on Sunday afternoon, with Memphis getting their second win of the season while the Clippers dropped their 5th-straight. The NBA has released their Last Two Minute Report for this game, and several big missed calls were detailed.

The first missed call in the final two minutes came when Kawhi Leonard should have been called for a foul against Marcus Smart on a play that ended in two points for Memphis anyways. Smart went to the ground, but was able to save the ball to David Roddy who finished the layup.

The next missed call came with 37 seconds remaining when Terance Mann should have been called for a foul against Bismack Biyombo following a missed three by James Harden. This was a huge miss at the time, because possession was awarded to the Clippers after replay review showed the ball last touched Biyombo; however, the NBA now admits he was fouled by Mann.

The third missed call in the final two minutes came with 27.6 seconds remaining when Desmond Bane landed out of bounds while in contact with the ball, but possession was awarded to Memphis.

The final missed call in the last two minutes came on Paul George's three-point attempt with about 20 seconds remaining in the game. George was awarded three free throws, but the NBA now says the call should have been on the floor, as the contact occurred prior to his shooting motion.
