In a nail-biting showdown, the New York Knicks narrowly edged past the Detroit Pistons with a 113-111 victory, but the game’s conclusion was marred by controversy as referees acknowledged a missed call in the final seconds.
The game-deciding sequence, which saw Josh Hart’s crucial layup, was shrouded in scrutiny due to disputed foul calls and turnovers.
According to a Pool Report interview conducted by Brian Mahoney with Crew Chief James Williams, the referees acknowledged a missed call when Donte DiVincenzo made contact with Ausar Thompson near halfcourt approximately eight seconds before the game’s conclusion.
