The NBA today released the referee report of yesterday's East Conference Finals, confirming that in the last two minutes of the game, there were two missed judgments on the court, both of which benefited the Heat.
The first missed decision occurred 1:07 seconds before the finale, when Kyle Lowry received the ball at the back and dribbled forward, and the ball should have been awarded back to the Green Army, but the referee did not react;
The second missed decision came 23.7 seconds before the end of the game, when Jimmy Butler stayed in the box for too long without a defensive target around him, and should have blown a defensive three-second violation, awarding the Green Army a free throw, but the referee also did not make an accurate blow.
Despite suffering two referee losses, the Celtics maintained their lead until the end, eventually beating the Heat 100-96 to advance to the Finals. On Friday, they will play the first leg with the Warriors.
