NBA L2M Report: Dwight Howard Held Seth Curry on Lakers' Game-Tying 3 vs. Mavs
Danny Green's game-tying three-pointer at the end of regulation in Friday's contest between the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks shouldn't have been allowed.
Per the NBA's last-two-minute report, Dwight Howard should have been called for an offensive foul for holding Seth Curry as he was trying to defend Green.
The Lakers were trailing 103-100 when LeBron James found Green in the corner to tie the score as time expired.
Los Angeles went on to beat Dallas 119-110 in overtime. The Mavericks' social media team took notice of Howard's grab of Curry's jersey and trolled the Lakers big man on Twitter after the game.
Curry also addressed the controversial play with reporters following his team's loss: "Even so, I knew what play was coming. ... I'm still there to take away that pass, and then [Dwight Howard] grabbed me and it was a no-call right in front of the official. It's just unfortunate."
If the referees called a foul on Howard, the Mavericks may have been able to secure the win either by running out the clock or making an additional free throw to increase the lead to four points with 3.5 seconds remaining.
Los Angeles moved atop the Western Conference with a 4-1 mark. Dallas' record dropped to 3-2 following the loss.
