NBA Admits Mistakes in Nuggets vs. Pistons Game
The NBA has released their Last Two Minute Report for Monday night's game between the Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons, and it includes two missed calls. These reports of course do not include anything outside of the last two minutes, which is where most of the controversy occurred in this game with both Nikola Jokic and Michael Malone getting ejected, but they do provide detailed descriptions of every call in the last two minutes.
The first missed call on the Last Two Minute Report came with 1:24 remaining in the game when Aaron Gordon finished a layup through contact from Cade Cunningham and was give a basket plus the free throw. According to the NBA, this should not have been ruled continuation, and should have just been two free throws for Gordon since Denver was already in the bonus.
The second and final mistake by the officials detailed in the Last Two Minute Report came with 47 seconds remaining when Aaron Gordon should have been called for a foul on Ausar Thompson's missed layup attempt. According to the NBA, "Gordon (DEN) lowers his arm and makes contact with Thompson's (DET) hand that is not on the ball, and the contact affects his shot near the rim."
These were the only two mistakes the NBA detailed in their Last Two Minute Report for this game.
