Scott Foster's Crew Missed 6 Calls In Final 2 Minutes of Wolves
Sports Illustrated • • sports
Key Points:
- Scott Foster's officiating crew missed six critical calls in the final two minutes of regulation and overtime during the Minnesota Timberwolves' 110-108 win over the Houston Rockets, contributing to the biggest overtime comeback in NBA history.
- Key missed calls included a non-call on an offensive foul by Alperen Sengun that would have fouled him out, an incorrect possession ruling favoring the Wolves, and missed fouls that allowed Minnesota to maintain possession and score crucial points.
- The report also upheld a controversial late foul call on Julius Randle in overtime that Wolves coach Chris Finch disputed, believing a missed foul on Randle at the end of regulation should have ended the game before overtime.
- Despite the officiating errors, Minnesota overcame multiple injuries and foul-outs to improve to 45-28, gaining a 1.5-game lead over Houston with nine games remaining in the regular season.
- The Wolves will prepare to face the top-seeded Detroit Pistons on Saturday following this dramatic and contentious victory.
