The NBA recently acknowledged that officials missed a foul call that would have given the Minnesota Timberwolves a chance to tie the score with one second remaining in the Timberwolves' 100-98 loss to the Dallas Mavericks last night:
None
After receiving an inbounds pass with three seconds remaining, Kevin Love dribbled once to his left and tried to go up for a jumper in the corner. Love was stripped by Marion and immediately raised his hands and looked to the referee for a call.
Love had this to say about the non-call:
None
At least the association is acknowledging these calls now, but that still doesn't erase the bitter sting of a loss. Minnesota's currently 15-16 and three games behind the Mavericks for the final spot in the playoffs, so this game could be something we look back on if the Wolves don't make the playoffs.
