The LA Clippers faced off against the Phoenix Suns on Monday night in one of the most important games of the season for both teams.
It seemed like LA was going to get blown out due to their poor three-point defense, but they rallied all the way back to make it a one-point game before losing. Throughout the game, there was one player in particular who was really unhappy with the officiating – Ivica Zubac.
After the loss, Zubac claimed his dunk over Mason Plumlee in the final minutes of the game should have been a three-point play. Not only that, but he felt like numerous plays didn’t receive a foul.
“It was an and-one. I don’t know what I have to do to get a foul call. I feel like I should’ve had like four and-ones tonight,” Zubac said. “I’m used to it, but like in the moment I’m always like how is that not a foul? What do I have to do? Should I flop like some of the guys? I don’t know.”
The NBA has officially admitted to a major missed call in the recent game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Phoenix Suns. The controversial play occurred in the final minutes of the game, with the Clippers trailing by just two points.
As Clippers guard Paul George drove to the basket for a potential game-tying layup, Suns center Deandre Ayton appeared to make significant contact with him, causing George to miss the shot. However, the referees did not call a foul on the play, allowing the Suns to hold on for the narrow victory.
After reviewing the footage, the NBA has acknowledged that a foul should have been called on Ayton, which would have sent George to the free-throw line with a chance to tie the game. This admission has sparked debate among fans and analysts, with many questioning the consistency and accuracy of officiating in the league.
The missed call has undoubtedly had a significant impact on the outcome of the game, and serves as a reminder of the importance of accurate and fair officiating in professional sports. The NBA has promised to review the incident and take steps to prevent similar mistakes in the future.
