23 calls reviewed2 errors admitted by the NBA

Foul: Shooting · 00:50.6

Andrew Wiggins → De'Aaron Fox

Looney's (GSW) right arm is not in a legal vertical position when arm contact occurs with Fox, affecting his driving shot attempt. The shooting foul should have been assessed to Looney instead of Wiggins (GSW).

Foul: Loose Ball · 01:52.7

Sasha Vezenkov → Andrew Wiggins

Vezenkov (SAC) clamps and pulls Wiggins' (GSW) left arm, which affects his range of motion during the rebounding opportunity.
