League Admits Missed Call in Last Night's Game

The NBA has admitted that Shawn Marion should have been called for a 2 shot foul on Kevin Love at the end of last night's 100-98 Mavericks win over the the Timberwolves.

From the league office
Rod Thorn, NBA President, Basketball Operations, issued the following statement today regarding a missed foul call late in the fourth quarter of the Dallas Mavericks’ 100-98 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Dec. 30, at Target Center:
“Through postgame video review, we have determined that Minnesota’s Kevin Love was fouled on the right arm by Dallas’ Shawn Marion while attempting a two-point field goal. Love should have been awarded two free throws with one second left on the clock.”

Thankfully this really means nothing, and the Mavs still won the game. So as Mark Cuban would say to the Timberwolves, "oh, too bad".
