In the NBA's Last Two Minute Report on the New York Knicks' dramatic 104-101 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 of their playoff series, the league acknowledged several missed calls.
The report revealed that Tyrese Maxey was fouled multiple times during a crucial sequence, including a missed timeout call by 76ers coach Nick Nurse. Additionally, Jalen Brunson's jersey grab on Maxey before an inbound pass and a subsequent bump by Josh Hart were noted.
Despite the NBA's admission of officiating errors, the outcome of the game remains unchanged, with the Knicks securing a 2-0 series lead. Maxey, despite the missed calls, chose to focus on self-improvement, acknowledging the need to be stronger with the ball and take ownership of crucial moments on the court.
While the 76ers expressed frustration over the missed calls, including Nurse's unsuccessful timeout attempts, the league's rules prevent a replay of the game's conclusion. With Games 3 and 4 scheduled for Thursday and Sunday in Philadelphia, both teams will look to overcome the controversy and focus on advancing in the playoffs.
