The Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns engaged in a closely contested match on Tuesday night, concluding with Phoenix securing a 119-116 victory. The NBA has issued its Last Two Minute Report for the game, revealing one notable missed call that, while potentially significant, had no ultimate impact on the outcome.
According to the report, with 29.1 seconds remaining, Warriors guard Chris Paul should have been penalized for a defensive three-second violation. This oversight could have awarded the Suns a free throw and regained possession. The score was 115-112 when this missed call occurred, and despite not scoring on that possession, a free throw would have made it a two-possession game.
Nevertheless, the Warriors ended up losing the game, rendering the missed call inconsequential. The Last Two Minute Report highlighted this specific error as the only one listed as incorrect. Amidst the game’s broader narratives, such as Draymond Green’s ejection and Klay Thompson’s benching, the Warriors face significant developments. With potential suspensions and adjustments, Golden State aims to refocus and overcome the distractions to resume their competitive play.
