The NBA's Last Two Minute Report validated the officials' decision to call a personal foul on Jonathan Kuminga during a crucial moment in the Houston Rockets' narrow victory over the Golden State Warriors. This call allowed Jalen Green to secure the game-winning free throws, leading to a heated reaction from Warriors coach Steve Kerr.
Kerr expressed his disbelief at the call, criticizing the officiating crew for what he deemed an 'unconscionable' decision that overshadowed the physical nature of the game. He lamented that a loose ball foul in such a critical moment should not have determined the outcome.
The report also confirmed that other plays during the game were correctly officiated, despite Kerr's frustrations with the overall handling of the match. This loss marks another instance where Kerr felt a late-game call negatively impacted his team's chances.
