The NBA’s Last Two Minute Report confirmed that officials made the right call when Jonathan Kuminga was assessed a personal foul on Jalen Green for a loose ball challenge, resulting in Green being ejected in the Houston Rockets’ 91-90 win The Golden State Warriors scored the decisive free throws on Wednesday evening.

Angrily, Steve Kerr said after the game that the officiating team, led by team boss Bill Kennedy, made an “unconscionable” decision that the Warriors’ head coach had never experienced in his NBA career. Kerr argued that the officials had allowed physical play until that foul with 3.5 seconds left.

Green’s free throws sent the Rockets to Las Vegas to play Oklahoma City in the NBA Cup semifinals on Saturday.

“I’m mad,” Kerr said, echoing his team’s sentiments late Wednesday night. “I wanted to go to Las Vegas. We wanted to win this Cup, and we’re not going to go because of a foul with a loose ball, 80 feet from the basket and the game on the line. I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.” Life, and that was ridiculous.

When Kuminga Green fouled, Stephen Curry missed a 3-point attempt. There was a chaotic scramble for the loose ball. Gary Payton II was able to win the ball on the ground while Fred VanVleet also dived for the ball. Payton then attempted to pass the ball to Kuminga, which resulted in Green diving for the ball. The NBA said Kuminga “reaches over Green to get the ball and pulls him downward with his shoulder.”

As for Payton and VanVleet, the NBA determined that it was a correct non-receipt because both made “incidental contact with each other in pursuit of the loose ball.”

“I have never seen a loose ball foul on a jump ball situation, 80 feet from the basket with the game on the line,” Kerr said. “I’ve never seen that before. I think I saw it once in college 30 years ago. I’ve never seen it in the NBA. This is…incomprehensible. I don’t even understand what just happened. Lost ball, bounced on.” The floor, 80 feet from the basket, and you’re going to give a guy two free throws to decide the game as people fight for the ball. Just give him a time out and let the players decide the game. Especially because the game was a complete wrestling match. They didn’t call anything.

“So you’ve decided that you’re just not going to call anything the entire game. It’s a physical game. And call a loose-ball foul in a jump-ball situation with guys jumping around on the floor? When the game is on the line? This is a multi-billion dollar industry with people’s jobs at stake.

This is the second loss in eight days in which the NBA confirmed the correctness of a late call that Kerr believed cost the Warriors a game. At the end of a 119-115 loss in Denver on Dec. 3, Kerr argued that Denver’s Christian Braun signaled a timeout after recovering a loose ball while Denver was out of timeouts. Officials said they didn’t see Braun’s clear signal for a timeout, which would have resulted in a technical foul and possession of the ball for the Warriors with 1.9 seconds remaining down by four. Instead, the officials called for a jump ball.

“I’m stunned,” Kerr said after the loss in Houston. “I give credit to the Rockets. They fought back. They played great defense all night to end the game.

“And that was taken away from us by a call that I don’t think an elementary school referee would have made because that guy would have felt and said, you know what? I will not decide a game on a decision like that, a loose ball, 80 feet from the basket.”
