The Mavericks' loss to the Warriors on Wednesday night didn’t come without some significant controversy. After the game, however, the referee involved explained what went on in a pool report interview with media members.
Crew Chief Sean Wright was asked by Tim Cato of The Athletic about the controversial play during the second half, which effectively resulted in a free basket for Golden State coming out of a timeout in which Dallas thought it was was supposed to have possession.
When asked why the Warriors were awarded possession despite it initially being called as Dallas’s ball, Wright attempted to clear the air.
