As it turns out, the Indiana Pacers had every reason to gripe about the officials holding their whistle during the closing moments of Wednesday's 99-96 loss to the Toronto Raptors.
The NBA's last-two-minute report revealed Thursday that Raptors forward OG Anunoby made contact with Bojan Bogdanovic's arm with 2.1 seconds remaining as he started his upward shooting motion and that it was incorrect to not call a foul on the play.
Bogdanovic's feet were behind the arc, meaning the career 85.7 percent free-throw shooter would have gone to the charity stripe with a chance to tie the game had a whistle been blown.
Foul or no foul?

Toronto rallied from a 17-point deficit - holding the Pacers to just 11 fourth-quarter points - to emerge victorious at Scotiabank Arena.
The loss was Indiana's second in as many nights determined by three or fewer points. It fell 92-91 to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.
