Lakers' Lou Williams did not foul Mavericks' J.J. Barea, NBA report says

With the score tied 90-90 on Tuesday night at Staples Center, the Lakers' Lou Williams drove on Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea, hitting what looked like the go-ahead basket with 13.5 seconds left.

Instead, Williams was called for an offensive foul, a turnover that set up Dirk Nowitzki, who hit the game winner with 2.1 seconds left. The Mavericks escaped with a 92-90 win.

On Wednesday, the NBA announced, via its "last two minute report," that the call was incorrect. Williams did not foul Barea.
