NBA Admits Missed Call in Nuggets vs. Heat Game 2

The Miami Heat tied the NBA Finals at 1-1 on Sunday night, defeating the Denver Nuggets to steal home court advantage. It was a wild game that saw both teams control for different portions, but it was ultimately Miami who was able to survive with a victory.

The NBA has released their Last Two Minute Report for Game 2, and it includes only one missed call, which came with just under two minutes remaining in the game. According to the NBA, with 1:50 left in the fourth quarter of Game 2, Heat center Bam Adebayo was in the paint for longer than three seconds, which should have resulted in a defensive three-second violation.

This missed call was mostly inconsequential, as Denver scored on this play after securing an offensive rebound, but it was an admitted missed call by the NBA that would have given Denver a technical foul shot if whistled correctly. Outside of this play, the league determined that every call and non-call was correct the rest of the game.

It is always important to note that the league only publishes a public report on the final two minutes of a game. Any calls or non-calls that happen outside of that time period do not get publicly reviewed. In a game as close as this one was, every play becomes magnified, but the NBA only publicly breaks down those which occur in the final two minutes.
