NBA Reveals 2 Incorrect Non-Calls in Warriors-Grizzlies Game

The Golden State Warriors, even without superstar duo Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler, took down the Memphis Grizzlies at Chase Center on Monday behind a gritty effort in the closing seconds of play.

Memphis had a 113-103 lead with 4:17 left to play but went scoreless after that. Golden State clawed its way back to make it a 113-112 game with two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

Obviously, the two teams tightened their defenses and struggled to score. Fortunately for the Dubs, forward Gui Santos gave them the lead — and the eventual 114-113 win — after receiving a pass from a falling Al Horford under the rim.

The Warriors also made a key stop after forcing a turnover by Cam Spencer in the closing seconds to protect their lead.

No one from the Dubs scored more than 20 points, but seven players reached double digits in scoring. Pat Spencer had 17 points, while Horford, Santos and Brandin Podziemski chipped in 16 points apiece.

For the Grizzlies, Ty Jerome scored 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting, while Jahmai Mashack added 17. Jaylen Wells was the only other starter to score in double digits aside from Jerome, scoring 10 points.

NBA Reveals Last 2 Minute Report for Warriors-Grizzlies Game

Interestingly, the NBA found two incorrect non-calls in the last two minutes of the game that could have impacted the result.

As mentioned, the Grizzlies weren't able to score in the final four minutes, which cost them the game. However, they should have at least gotten three free throws with 1:38 left after Santos fouled Memphis' Spencer.

Spencer attempted a 3-point shot but missed, but he was seen complaining to the referee that Santos touched his shooting elbow. However, no foul was called.

Upon further review, the NBA commented that, "Santos (GSW) makes contact to Spencer's (MEM) elbow, affecting his jump shot attempt." Hence, there should have been a foul call.

Had the Grizzlies been given the foul and Spencer made his three free throws, they would have been up 116-112.

The Warriors had a non-call that didn't go in their favor as well, though. With 1:20 to play, Horford was clearly fouled by Mashack while trying to get to the basket, but there was no whistle.

The referee called for a jump ball after Mashack also got both his hands on the ball, but as the NBA explained, he also hit Horford.

"Although Mashack (MEM) gets his hand on the ball, he reaches in with his other hand and makes illegal contact to Horford's (GSW) head/face," the NBA wrote in its review.

While it's unknown how things would have turned out had both incidents been properly called, the Grizzlies will certainly have some gripes considering they ended up losing.
