NBA Admits Big Missed Call in Golden State Warriors vs. Utah Jazz

The NBA has released their Last Two Minute Report for the Golden State Warriors vs. Utah Jazz game, and it includes a big missed call with 1:35 remaining. While the Warriors are fortunate they were able to hang on and win the game, the NBA admits that Andrew Wiggins was wrongfully whistled for a foul against Collin Sexton with 1:35 remaining.

In their explanation, the NBA wrote, "Wiggins (GSW) collapses his left arm against his body as he absorbs the initial contact with Sexton (UTA), who then raises his off-arm up and the contact during the driving shot attempt is marginal."

Sexton was given a trip to the free throw line on what the NBA now says was marginal contact from Wiggins. As previously mentioned, Golden State was able to hang on and win despite this big miss by the officials, earning a much needed victory entering the All-Star break.

This was the only incorrect ruling on the Last Two Minute Report, making it a relatively clean one, especially since the one missed call benefitted the losing team. The Warriors were in serious danger of blowing this game in the fourth quarter, as they have done so many times this season, but they were able to hang on and secure the win.

Golden State will now enjoy the All-Star break before getting back to action next week.
