There should have been a foul called on Sacramento’s Cory Joseph on Sunday with 8 seconds left as Luka Doncic tried a shot in the paint that could have tied the game, the NBA said on Monday.
In the league’s Last Two Minute report, it was decided that an “incorrect non-call” was made on the play when Doncic wheeled into the paint and lofted an 8-foot floater that hit off the front rim. He was tightly guarded by Joseph, who hit Doncic on the elbow during the shot, a fact that the Mavericks felt was obvious when they reviewed after the game.
