NBA Admits Massive Missed Call in Warriors vs. Lakers Game 4

The NBA has released their Last Two Minute report for Warriors vs. Lakers Game 4

The NBA has released their Last Two Minute Report for Game 4 between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors, and it admits a massive missed call in the final seconds. 

Following Draymond Green's turnover with 10 seconds remaining, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins tied up Anthony Davis, which resulted in a jump-ball call. According to the NBA, Wiggins' foot was out of bounds when he made contact with the ball, which should have resulted in possession for the Lakers instead of a jump-ball call.

The Warriors ending up winning the jump ball; however, Steph Curry threw the ball out of bounds with 1.8 seconds remaining, and the massive missed call did not result in points for the Warriors. While the outcome was not impacted by that miss by the officials, it was certainly a massive incorrect ruling in a moment like that.

The only other incorrect ruling listed on the Last Two Minute Report came with 57 seconds remaining, when Moses Moody should have been whistled for a foul on Dennis Schroder's rip-through. The Lakers were in the bonus at that point, and should have been awarded two free throws.

Outside of those two missed calls, the NBA says every other play in the final two minutes of Game 4 was called correctly. The Lakers were able to take a 3-1 series lead, and will now head to Golden State looking to finish the series.
