The play was marked as an incorrect non-call on the report, citing that "Grant gathers the ball with one hand and then takes three steps before releasing the shot attempt." Had the correct call been made, Phoenix would have gotten the ball back in a tie game with less than one second on the clock in regulation.
The L2M Report also noted multiple incorrect calls on the Suns' final offensive possession. Trail Blazers guard Keon Johnson should have been called for defensive three seconds with 13.1 seconds remaining, while the travel called on Mikal Bridges that gave Portland the ball back with one second remaining was ruled incorrect.
The Suns and Trail Blazers meet for another matchup in Phoenix Saturday night.
