In a highly contested Game 2, the NBA’s Last Two Minute Report revealed several missed calls that had a significant impact on the outcome. The league acknowledged that Maxey was fouled multiple times, including a clear jersey grab before the inbound pass and a collision that sent him to the ground. Additionally, 76ers coach Nick Nurse’s timeout call was ignored by the referees, potentially altering the course of the game. Despite the report acknowledging these oversights, the NBA clarified that they do not warrant a game protest or replay due to the nature of human error.
