When Kevin Huerter missed his game-tying attempt Monday night, he and his Sacramento Kings teammates swarmed the referee who swallowed his whitle on the play. Today, the NBA confirmed they were right.
The NBA puts out a report on all the calls made in the final two minutes of a close game called the Last Two Minute Report. Last night’s report confirmed that Klay Thompson did indeed make contact with Huerter’s arm, affecting his shot, and Huerter should have gone to the line for three free throws that could have tied the game.
