The NBA listed five incorrect no-calls in the final 13.5 seconds of the Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 2 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
Referees have been raked over the coals since late Monday night, when a series of events at the end of the Thunder's 98-97 win brought into question how so many fouls could be missed. The no-calls are as follows, as per the league's daily Last 2 Minute Report Tuesday afternoon:
| Time | Call missed |
|---|---|
| Q4/00:13.5 | Delay of game on Spurs' Manu Ginobili |
| Q4/00:13.5 | Offensive foul on Thunder's Dion Waiters |
| Q4/00:13.5 | Personal foul on Spurs' Patty Mills |
| Q4/00:13.5 | Personal foul on Spurs' Kawhi Leonard |
| Q4/00:02.6 | Shooting foul on Thunder's Serge Ibaka |
Getting out in front of the controversy after the game, lead referee Ken Mauer admitted a mistake on the second foul - a clear shove by Dion Waiters on Manu Ginobili. The National Basketball Referees' Association also released a statement pledging to "incorporate" such fouls into their training in the future.
