L2M: Howard held Curry back from defending Green
The NBA's last-two-minute report confirmed an incorrect no-call from the Los Angeles Lakers' overtime win Friday over the Dallas Mavericks, where Dwight Howard restrained Seth Curry from closing out on Danny Green's game-tying corner three as time expired in regulation.

"I knew what play was coming," Curry said afterward. "I'm still there to take away that pass, and then (Dwight Howard) grabbed me and it was a no-call right in front of the official. It's just unfortunate."
The Mavs were then outscored 16-7 in the extra period.
The officials' report also noted a missed personal foul on Anthony Davis when he made contact with Luka Doncic with 14.5 seconds left in regulation.
