In Game 2 between the Dallas Mavericks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves matchup, the officials missed an important foul by Kyrie Irving. The NBA later confirmed this mistake, saying Jaden McDaniels should have gotten free throws because of it.
With only 47 seconds remaining in the game, Mavericks’ head coach Jason Kidd intervened heroically, challenging the ruling.
Although the foul itself wasn’t reviewable, Kidd’s strategic move led to the call being overturned in favor of the Mavericks, granting them possession of the ball.
