NBA admitted that Golden State Warriors Draymond Green should have been penalised for an offensive foul during the match against Los Angeles Lakers.
The game proved to be an epic encounter as the Lakers came from behind in the final seconds of the overtime to secure the win with a score of 145-144.
With less than six seconds remaining, it seemed that Green fouled the Lakers wing Jarred Vanderbilt as he managed to pass the ball to Curry who scored the three-pointer and gave his team a marginal lead of 144-143.
However, Lakers star LeBron James was then fouled with less than two seconds remaining as he scored two more points to secure the win.
NBA, in a recent statement, admitted that Green should have been penalised for an offensive foul and that the referee missed that. "Green (GSW) steps toward Vanderbilt (LAL) and he delivers the contact that dislodges Vanderbilt during the screen.”
The result left Curry frustrated as he ended up ripping his shirt in a video that appeared on the social media platform X — previously known as Twitter.
Curry had a great day on a personal level during the match as he ended up registering 46 points, the highest by any player in the match. He registered three rebounds and seven assists as well.
