L2M: Grizzlies shouldn't have had possession for game-winning buzzer-beater

The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Denver Nuggets in dramatic fashion on Tuesday night, drawing up a brilliant out-of-bounds play with 0.7 seconds left to get Marc Gasol a game-winning alley-oop lay-in.

Turns out, they never should've had the ball to begin with.

The Grizzlies were awarded possession after a replay review seemed to confirm that the ball had gone out of bounds off the hand of Nuggets point guard Emmanuel Mudiay. The NBA's Last-Two-Minute Report on Wednesday indicated otherwise.

"Upon review of an additional angle postgame, it was determined that Mudiay did not touch the ball and possession should have been awarded to DEN," the report stated.

Small consolation for the Nuggets, who are making a habit of losing in gut-wrenching fashion early in this season.
