The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Golden State Warriors on Friday night, thwarting Golden State's late comeback attempt. The NBA released a report on the last two minutes of the game, which included a major missed call with about a minute left in the game.
With the Mavericks leading 105-101, Warriors star Stephen Curry hit a deep three to cut the deficit to just one point. According to the NBA, before Curry scored three points, Draymond Green set an illegal screen that should have thrown the basket away. Dallas went on to win the game, but this was a huge missed call in a moment like this.
The NBA also released an explanation for Curry's controversial blocking foul with 21.6 seconds left, which was upheld after an appeal by the Warriors. In an explanation of the ruling, the NBA said, “The foul replay review requested on Curry (GSW) in response to the coach's appeal was deemed unsuccessful. Curry (GSW) It was illegally placed over a restricted area.” When he tries to press charges, he contacts Washington (DAL). ”
This is a tough loss for the Warriors and likely ends their quest for a No. 10 seed or higher. Heading into the play-in tournament, the Warriors need a win to qualify for the playoffs.
