In the NBA’s official two minutes report, they said that after further review that Emmanuel Mudiay did not touch the ball in a game-deciding call.
The Nuggets also released a statement that was made by President Josh Kroenke who said this:
“Commissioner Silver has done a fantastic job championing league transparency and accuracy for teams and fans alike with the addition of in-game video review and the NBA’s Instant Replay Center. However, in this case, a reviewable non-judgement call regarding possession was not sufficiently reviewed, and considering the time and score, we feel as if the incorrect ruling had a direct impact on the final outcome of the game.”
Although this call did impact the results, the two previous Emmanuel Mudiay turnovers were terrible displays of basketball.
