On June 14, Beijing time, the NBA officially released the referee report of the last two minutes of the G5 finals. According to the report, there were four missed judgments in the final two minutes of the game, with the Nuggets and Heat each making two gains. In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Heat 94-89 to win the championship, and these mistakes did not prevent the Nuggets from successfully winning the first championship in team history.
The first was a miscalculation, occurring 1 minute and 38 seconds before the end of the game. Lowry followed Jokic back and finally touched the ball cleanly. The referee was wrong in awarding Lowry a foul, and the report states that the ball should have been awarded to a scrum. This time the misjudgment was that the Nuggets made a profit, and the Heat suffered a loss.
The second was a missed call, which occurred 1 minute and 33 seconds before the end of the game. After the Nuggets missed shot, Butler clipped Gordon's arm, affecting his fight for the front court rebound. The report states that the ball should have blown Butler's foul. The Heat profited, the Nuggets suffered.
The third was a missed call, occurring 48.6 seconds before the end of the game. Similar to the second missed call, Butler grabbed his left arm as Gordon scrambles for the front court, affecting his basket. The report pointed out that this was also a leaked foul, the Heat profited, and the Nuggets suffered.
The fourth time was also a missed call, occurring 18.1 seconds before the end of the game. Jokic did not actively defend the opposing player for more than 3 seconds in his own penalty area, which was a missed defensive three-second violation, the Heat suffered, and the Nuggets profited.
These four misjudgments, each side made two profits, did not affect the final outcome of the match. Jokic contributed 28 points and 16 rebounds to become the Finals MVP, helping the Nuggets win their first championship in team history. Looking back at this round of the Finals, the Nuggets' strength is clearly above the Heat, and the 4-1 aggregate score is also a true reflection of the gap between the two sides. Congratulations again to the Nuggets for winning the first championship in team history!
