The NBA recorded two incorrect calls in the last two minutes of the Hawks’ 102-96 victory over the Pacers Friday night.
In its Last Two Minutes report, the league said the Hawks’ Paul Millsap should have been called for a loose ball foul against the Pacers’ Paul George with 1:05 remaining. George stumbled after the contact and threw up a 27-foot shot that went in to trim the deficit to 95-93. The foul would have negated the desperation heave. George would have went to the free-throw line to shoot two as the Hawks were over the limit.
The Hawks won the game by outscoring the Pacers 7-3 after the play.
In addition, the report said the Hawks’ Kent Bazemore was fouled by Monta Ellis on an inbounds play with 24.1 seconds remaining and the Hawks leading 98-93. Ellis grabbed and held Bazemore’s arm according to the report.
