NBA admits refs missed Draymond Green lane violation in final moment of Game 1
Wow just saw this!
In its Last Two Minute Report on officiating, the NBA admitted that Draymond Green committed a lane violation on the decisive George Hill free throw that eventually led to Smith dribbling the ball out of the paint and ending regulation tied 107-107. If the violation had been caught, Hill would have been awarded a new free throw attempt and another chance to give the Cavs the lead.
Green’s violation wasn’t the only ruling of note from the NBA, and also not the only one pertaining to Green. The report stated there was an incorrect non-call with 12 seconds remaining in the game when Green grabbed LeBron James, which should have been called for a foul.
