The NBA admitted a potentially game-changing officiating mistake in the Knicks’ 107-106 Game 4 win over the Spurs—but no, it doesn’t have to do with OG Anunoby’s clutch block on De’Aaron Fox.
Instead, it was a Spurs’ offensive play that took place with roughly a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. Knicks’ Jalen Brunson had just made a jumper to give New York its first lead of the game, 105-104. On San Antonio’s ensuing possession, Stephon Castle drove toward the rim while being closely guarded by Josh Hart, and the referees deemed Castle stepped out of bounds on the baseline.
