"With 9.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and the Nuggets up 116-113, Lakers guard Austin Reaves headed to the free throw line following a foul by Spencer Jones immediately after the ball was inbounded. However, according to the report, Jones 'cleanly dislodges the ball away from Reaves' in what should've been a clean strip with the ball going out of bounds."
"Reaves then stunned the Nuggets in his next trip to the line following a pair of free throws from Cameron Johnson to push the lead back up to three. The Lakers guard sunk the first free throw and then intentionally missed the second before gathering the rebound and tying the game with a floater."
During Saturday's Lakers-Nuggets overtime thriller, an incorrect foul was called on Denver's Spencer Jones with 9.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. According to the NBA's Last 2 Minutes report, Jones cleanly dislodged the ball from Lakers guard Austin Reaves in what should have been a clean strip, but the officials called a foul instead. This allowed Reaves to reach the free throw line and draw the Lakers within one point. Reaves subsequently tied the game with a floater after intentionally missing a free throw. The Lakers ultimately won 127-125 in overtime.
