Sat Dec 07 05:20:00 UTC 2024: ## NBA’s Last Two Minute Report Upholds No-Call in Nuggets-Warriors Game
**Denver, CO** – The NBA’s Last Two Minute Report confirmed the officiating crew’s decision not to call a technical foul on Denver Nuggets forward Christian Braun in the final seconds of their 119-115 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr vehemently protested what he believed was a timeout called by Braun after he recovered a loose ball with 1.9 seconds remaining, while the Nuggets had no timeouts left. Such a call would have resulted in a technical foul, awarding the Warriors a free throw and possession. However, the officials called a jump ball instead.
The report stated that Braun’s actions did not constitute a clear signal for a timeout. Braun himself confirmed he was aware the Nuggets had no timeouts remaining and denied intentionally calling one, attributing his movements to recovering the ball on the floor.
Kerr, however, remained unconvinced, asserting that Braun clearly signaled for a timeout and expressing frustration with the officials’ decision. He argued that the non-call cost the Warriors a crucial opportunity to tie or win the game, adding to their frustrations in a five-game losing streak.
The controversial call overshadowed the Nuggets’ dramatic comeback, erasing an 11-point deficit in the final minutes to secure the victory.
