The NBA’s Last Two Minute Report assesses calls made late in games, and the league deemed the officials were correct with every call and non-call decided in the final minute of Sunday’s battle between the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers.
The Suns lost a chippy, 116-114 game after a final minute included multiple reviews and calls that drew howling boos from the fans at Mortgage Matchup Center.
Moments of contention included a non-call on LeBron James’ contest of Dillon Brooks’ go-ahead 3-pointer, the decision to give Brooks a technical foul that kicked him out of the game and the foul on Devin Booker that sent James to the free-throw line with three seconds left.
The only decisions ruled incorrect on the L2M were an offensive foul non-call on Brooks with 1:38 left and an offensive foul non-call on Luka Doncic with 1:08 remaining. The non-call on Brooks came in transition, and Brooks ended up scoring on that possession to cut the Lakers’ lead to 111-106.
