NBA Last Two Minute Report Reveals Missed Calls in Suns vs. Nuggets Overtime Thriller

The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets engaged in a thrilling overtime battle on Tuesday night, with Phoenix ultimately clinching the victory despite surrendering a 22-point lead in regulation. However, the NBA’s Last Two Minute Report for the game has unveiled three crucial missed calls that could have altered the outcome.

The first missed call occurred with approximately 1:40 remaining in the fourth quarter when Nikola Jokic should have been penalized for a defensive three-second violation. According to the report, this oversight deprived the Suns of a potential free throw and possession opportunity.

The second missed call occurred at the 1:15 mark when Aaron Gordon was incorrectly called for a personal foul against Kevin Durant. The NBA’s review determined that Gordon’s contact with Durant was marginal and did not warrant a foul, casting doubt on the validity of the call.

In a repeat occurrence, the Last Two Minute Report identified another missed defensive three-second violation against Jokic with just 28 seconds left in regulation. Once again, this oversight denied Phoenix a potential free throw and possession opportunity during a critical juncture of the game.

These three missed calls were the only discrepancies detailed in the NBA’s official report, shedding light on key moments that could have significantly impacted the outcome of the game. Despite these officiating errors, the Suns managed to secure the victory in overtime, showcasing their resilience amidst a fiercely contested matchup.
