In what might be deemed one of the most inconsequential requirements in professional sports, the Phoenix Suns found themselves victim to a missed call in the final two minutes of their matchup against the Lakers on Friday, as revealed in the NBA’s Last Two Minutes (L2M) report.
Admittedly, these reports don’t necessarily lead to any tangible changes, as there’s nothing the league can do once the game concludes.
Instead, they provide fans with an opportunity to dwell in a pool of “what-ifs” and assign blame to officials for the final score, even if the call ultimately didn’t impact the outcome.
