In a thrilling matchup between the LA Clippers and the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, the Clippers emerged victorious in a nail-biting finish, despite the absence of Kawhi Leonard. 

However, both teams found themselves at odds with the officiating throughout the game, with Nuggets head coach Michael Malone even receiving an ejection in the fourth quarter.

Following the game, the NBA released its Last Two Minute Report, shedding light on two crucial missed calls in the final moments of the contest. 

The first missed call occurred with 1:11 remaining, where Clippers center Ivica Zubac should have been whistled for a shooting foul against Nikola Jokic.

The second missed call came with just 14 seconds left on the clock, as Jokic should have been penalized for a defensive three-second violation during the Clippers’ final offensive possession.

The revelation of these missed calls further fueled the dissatisfaction from both teams regarding the officiating during the game. 

It’s worth noting that Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray was also sidelined for the matchup, adding another layer of complexity to the contest.

Despite the absence of key players and contentious officiating, the game provided an electrifying spectacle between two potential playoff contenders. 

The Clippers’ victory marked their fourth win in the last five games, further solidifying their position as a formidable force in the league.
