An article by Jonah Dylan from Memphis Commercial Appeal revealed that the NBA has confirmed an unintentional 1 minute and 6 second extension during the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers game on Friday night.
There was a discrepancy in the game clock during the third quarter after a shot clock violation, resulting in an unnoticed extra playtime where the score remained tied at 2-2. Despite briefly taking the lead during the extra time, the Grizzlies eventually lost to the Lakers.
The NBA’s Last 2 Minute report also pointed out officiating errors including missed calls on LeBron James and Rui Hachimura.
While the outcome had little impact on the Grizzlies, it was a crucial win for the Lakers as it placed them in the No. 8 seed position in the NBA Play-In Tournament race.
