On January 11, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the referee report of the last two minutes of the Nets and Spurs games yesterday, the fourth quarter and overtime. The report shows that there were two missed judgments in overtime, and both sides profited once. In the end, the Nets hit a horseback archery shot by Thomas 1.4 seconds before the final game, and narrowly defeated the Spurs 121-119, ending a five-game losing streak at home. The following brings you the details of the two missed judgments.
The first missed judgment came when overtime was 53.9 seconds away from the end of the game, when Spurs defender Primo stood in the paint area for more than three seconds and did not actively defend his opponent.
This is a missed judgment. According to the rules, at this time, the Spurs should be blown for three seconds of violation, and the Nets get the opportunity to "one penalty and one throw". The score was 117-119, and the Nets led by two points. The Nets had a chance to continue to extend their lead with this blow-off. The Spurs followed with Murray's help to complete the equaliser.
The second missed decision came 25.3 seconds before the end of overtime, when Spurs player De Zhangtai Murray received the ball and was interfered with by Nets player Mills. The report showed that Mills had physical contact with Murray during his lateral movement, which affected Murray's shooting performance.
It was also a missed decision, the referee should blow Mills foul, Murray got 2 free throws. The score was 119-119, and if the Spurs won two free throws, the Spurs were expected to take the lead and take the initiative on the court. This missed judgment allowed them to miss a good opportunity to reverse the score.
In this game, the Nets opened widely, pulled the point difference apart many times, and took a 14-point lead, but they were all chased back by the Spurs. With 4:01 left in the final quarter, Durant hit from mid-range and the Nets still had a 10-point lead. The spurs played a dominant performance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, leaving the Nets completely in a scoring drought until the end of regular time. The Spurs equalised with the help of Primo's back-to-back three-point shots, and the two sides headed into overtime.
In the final moments of overtime, the Nets had a chance to kill the game. Durant lured the bag clip to Thomas, who rode a horse in 1.4 seconds to shoot an arrow to complete the shootout. With Walker's shot coming off the block, the Nets eventually won the game at home.
The Nets have been in poor form recently, losing four of their last six games and losing five straight home games. Durant and Harden are slightly tired, and they still need Irving's help.
Later in the Nets' back-to-back game against the Blazers, Harden will be absent due to overextending of his left knee, Irving will return, and the Big Three will once again miss out.
