L2M report: Jazz fouled Pelicans' Ingram on potential game-tying shot
The Utah Jazz got away with a crucial foul at the end of Monday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans, according to the last-two-minute report the NBA released Tuesday.
With Utah leading 128-126 with under 10 seconds remaining in regulation, Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram drove the length of the court and forced contact with Jazz center Rudy Gobert while attempting a game-tying layup. No foul was called on the play, the game clock expired, and Utah won the contest.
Gobert should have been called for a shooting foul, the league has since determined. If a foul had been called, Ingram would've been given two potential game-tying free throws.
The league's report stated that Gobert made contact with Ingram's arm during the forward's shot attempt with 0.9 seconds remaining.
Utah's controversial 128-126 victory helped extend its winning streak to six games.
