The referees have missed a series of important calls in the last 90 seconds of the victory of the Golden State Warriors tournament against the Memphis grizzlymen on Tuesday evening, the NBA shared on its last two -minute report on Wednesday.
The Warriors won 121-116, propelling them to a force test with the Houston Rockets during the first round of the playoffs. Grizzlies can always make the playoffs if they beat Dallas Mavericks at home on Friday.
But for fans of grizzleas, the bite of the loss of Tuesday evening could persist. In the NBA report As soon as the match was closed, the league said that those responsible had passed on property, poorly identified faults and points that should never have counted in the loss of Memphis.
Among the most important errors, there was a missed fault on Draymond Green of Golden State, who should have won a sixth and left the match with 1:29 on the left, said the League, after contacting Scotty Pippen Jr. de Memphis, the report indicated that Green did not blow the breath with the wrist of Pippen Jr. Based breathing.
The Green possession defeated Pippen at the end with the guardian of Memphis stumbling, then by launching a shot that strikes the edge before the teammate Zach Edey does it, making the scoring of 114-111.
But these two points should not have reached, depending on the evaluation. Edey touched the ball while he was in the “imaginary cylinder above the edge”, and the referees should have called him for offensive goalkeepers.
A little less than a minute later, with Memphis hanging around four years old, the warrior brand Brandin Podziemski jumped for a block against Pippen, attracting a whistle while Podziemski received a fault despite the contact with the ball. This sent Pippen to the line for two free throws, of which he made one. The league then called the contact “accessory.”
Finally, with a single point separating the teams and just under 10 remaining seconds, JA MORANT pushed the ball out of the limits while Steph CURRY dribble by him. The referees attributed possession to the Warriors, but according to the report, the ball struck Curry and Memphis should have taken control with seven seconds.
Memphis can enter the Friday evening match against the Mavericks with a supervised superstar after Morerant was injured in the ankle in the third quarter. He returned and finished defeat at the Warriors, but a victory for Memphis last night would have given him until Sunday to recover. Dallas has just released a decisive victory of 120-106 which destroyed the hopes of the Sacramento Kings qualifiers.
The Warriors will face Houston’s Rockets in the first round from Sunday evening in Houston.
