NBA Admits Missed Goaltending Call in Pelicans' Narrow Win Over Mavericks

The league's Last Two Minute Report confirmed referees failed to call a decisive goaltending violation in the final seconds of Dallas' 119-116 loss to New Orleans.

The NBA's Last Two Minute Report revealed that officials missed a goaltending call on Trey Murphy III's block of Spencer Dinwiddie's layup attempt, which could have given Dallas the lead with 4 seconds left.
The Pelicans secured the victory after Murphy made two free throws following the controversial block, bringing the final score to 119-116.
Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd criticized the missed call, stating it may have cost his team the game, but the team opted not to appeal the result due to the low likelihood of overturning the outcome.
Both teams were missing key players, including Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving for Dallas, and Zion Williamson for New Orleans, with the Pelicans improving to 10-32 despite their struggles this season.
The loss extended the Mavericks' losing streak to three games, dropping them to seventh in the Western Conference standings as they prepare to face the Oklahoma City Thunder next.
