NBA's Last 2 Minutes Report Says Lakers Got Away with 2 Missed Calls in Win vs. Jazz

The Los Angeles Lakers caught a break during Sunday's narrow win versus the Utah Jazz.

According to the game's Last Two Minutes Report, the Lakers benefited from a pair of missed calls. The first was a missed loose ball foul from Maxi Kleber with 10.5 seconds to go and the other was a foul away from the play on Marcus Smart in the final five seconds.

After the missed call on Kleber, Luka Dončić secured the rebound and was fouled, making one of the two free throws to put the Lakers up by one point. The Jazz's Keyonte George missed what would have been a go ahead three pointer on the other end and Utah got the rebound, but couldn't get another shot attempt up.

Los Angeles held on to win 108-106.
