The LA Clippers and Golden State Warriors played a thriller on Saturday afternoon, with the Clippers overcoming a 22-point deficit to beat the Warriors. The NBA has released their Last Two Minute Report for this game, and it includes one missed call that was big at the time, but ultimately inconsequential given the final score. With 1:46 remaining in the game, the NBA admits Steph Curry traveled but was not called for the violation. Golden State ended up scoring on that possession after a review gave them possession again, but the Clippers won the game, so it ultimately did not change much.
For a game that saw a lot of action in the last two minutes, all things considered, this Last Two Minute Report was rather clean. Both sides can feel somewhat pleased about the officiating crew’s lack of big misses, since the lone miss on the Last Two Minute Report was this missed traveling call.
Even though Curry’s travel was not a factor in any of the big misses included in the Last Two Minute Report, calls made after those final two minutes can still have a significant impact. Nevertheless, the Clippers outperformed the Warriors in the second half and made the crucial plays in the closing minutes. For the Clippers, who are trying to find their rhythm, this was a significant victory.
