"One day after Steve Kerr was ejected for arguing multiple calls, the NBA asserted that officiating actually favored his Warriors down the stretch of their 103-102 loss to the Clippers. Kerr was thrown out after Gary Payton II's blocked layup was not called a goaltend, something the guard later called a missed call and came shortly after Curry's and-1 jump shot was waved off. Lead official Brian Forte later told pool reporter Tomer Azarly that Payton's layup should have been a goaltend,"
"All three involved Draymond Green, who injured his ribs, ankle and left wrist during a rough-and-tumble night. According to the NBA's Last Two Minute report, Green should have been assessed an offensive foul with 1:40 left in the game for a moving screen on Kris Dunn of the Clippers. Then, at both 1:23 and the 55-second mark, Green's camping in the paint should have resulted in a defensive three-second violation and a Clippers free throw."
"It was an ironic development for Green, who was thrown out of the previous game against the Jazz for vehemently arguing that Utah's Kyle Filipowski had not been called for three seconds in the lane. In all, the league's report reviewed 23 fouls, called, no-calls and missed, and found that the only three incorrectly officiated instances involved Green. The calls that incensed Kerr occurred around the 8-minute mark, so they were not included in the review,"
Steve Kerr was ejected after arguing multiple calls following a sequence that included Gary Payton II's blocked layup not being ruled a goaltend and a waved-off Curry and-1. Lead official Brian Forte later said Payton's layup should have been ruled a goaltend. Assistant coach Terry Stotts took over after Kerr's ejection while the Warriors mounted a comeback. The NBA's Last Two Minute report identified three missed or incorrect calls, all involving Draymond Green: an offensive moving-screen foul at 1:40 and two defensive three-second violations at 1:23 and 55 seconds. The league reviewed 23 incidents and found only those three errors.
