Official NBA L2M report: every call in the endgame, reviewed by the league.

15 calls reviewed2 errors admitted by the NBA

Foul: Defense 3 Second · 00:11.1

Bogdan Bogdanovic → Heat

Bogdanovic (ATL) fails to fully clear the lane and is in the paint for longer than three seconds without imminently actively guarding an opponent.

Foul: Shooting · 01:54.6

Saddiq Bey → Jimmy Butler

Bey (ATL) is in a legal guarding position during Butler's (MIA) drive to the basket and contact to his head occurs when Butler leans in for the shot attempt. Contact to an opponent's head/face can be deemed marginal when the result of a natural basketball move, provided the contact is not disproportionate or uncontrolled.
