A pair of former Golden State Warriors players think the Dubs got a pretty fortunate whistle on perhaps the most pivotal play of Golden State’s 121-116 play-in tournament victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Coming out of a timeout with 5.4 seconds left in regulation, the visiting Grizzlies tried to inbound the ball for a shot to tie the game as they were down just three points. Unfortunately for them, they never even got the ball in play as they were called for a five-second violation that turned the ball over to the Warriors, essentially sealing the victory.
