OAKLAND – The referees missed three fouls by Kevin Durant and one committed by LeBron James in the final two minutes of the Warriors’ 99-92 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, according to the NBA’s Last Two Minute Report released Tuesday.
According to the report, the referees failed to call a personal foul on Durant with 1 minute and 12 seconds left after he made body-to-body contact with James.
They then failed to call a loose ball foul against James with 33 seconds left after he “clamps the arm and jersey” of Draymond Green.
Then with 27 seconds left, there was another missed personal foul against Durant after he made contact with James as he drove to the basket.
And with 25.6 seconds left there was a missed shooting foul call against Durant after he made contact with James’ arm and body.
After the Warriors’ win, Durant denied that he made contact with James as he shot the ball.
“It felt clean,” Durant said. “The same dudes that are arguing on Twitter are probably at [the local gym] saying that wasn’t a foul. “They’ve been in a position before, but not on Christmas at Oracle Arena.”
