On May 20, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. In yesterday's Western Conference semifinals matchup, the Mavericks defeated the Thunder 117-116 to advance to the Finals with a 4-2 overall score. Earlier today, the NBA officially presented the referee report for the game.
According to the referee's report, there was one missed judgment and one wrong judgment in the last two minutes of the match, with both sides winning once each, and it was in the same round.
The missed judgment came with 1:46 left in the fourth quarter, when PJ Washington pressed Jalen Williams' shoulder after jumping up during Jalen Williams' breakaway layup, affecting Jalen Williams' shot. It was a defensive foul, but the referee didn't blow the penalty.
Then after the referee missed a foul on PJ Washington, the basketball went out of bounds and the referee awarded the ball to the Thunder, but PJ Washington did not touch the ball during the defense, and it should have been the Mavericks' possession.
It is worth mentioning that in the final moments of yesterday's game, Alexander's three-point foul on Washington caused controversy, but there was no objection to the decision in this round.
In fact, referee Tony Brothers explained after yesterday's game: "We saw that Alexander's confrontation started on the ball, but his hand then hit Washington's arm, who was shooting at the time, and he still maintained control of the basketball, so it was a clear illegal confrontation." If Alexander's confrontation can destroy the ball, then the subsequent arm play is a minor confrontation, but Washington retains control of the ball throughout, so Alexander's subsequent hit on the arm is an illegal confrontation, that is, a shooting foul.
With this game over, the Mavericks advanced to the Western Conference Finals, while the Thunder ended their season.
