The recent match between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors was decided by a single point, and probably a couple of missed calls. Following the highly contested match, the NBA released the findings of the last two minute review, and it concluded that refs missed two crucial calls.

Based on the report, the refs should have called a technical foul against Cavs superstar LeBron James for deliberately hanging on the rim following his explosive dunk with less than two minutes left on the regulation, according to CBC. The missed call even got more controversial especially when Warriors forward Draymond Green was called for a technical foul when he did the same stunt against Utah Jazz just three days prior.
The NBA report also pointed that Cavs' Richard Jefferson should have been called for a foul when he tripped Warriors' Kevin Durant during the last possession of the game with 3.1 seconds remaining. The report said that Jefferson made "foot contact" with Durant causing the latter to fall on the floor and essentially robbed him of the opportunity to possibly hit the game winning shot. Durant, while being floored, struggled to make the last shot but failed to find his target.
In a statement acquired by ESPN, Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue said, "There's a lot of fouls throughout the course of the game that don't get called. It's a tough game to officiate - the players we have, the way guys can draw fouls and contact."
The match ended 109-108, with the Cavs bagging the win. The two teams will meet once again on Jan. 16.
