Steve Kerr blasts officials after controversial call bounces Warriors from NBA Cup

The Warriors’ shot at the NBA Cup got decided at the foul line, not on the court.

With 3.5 seconds left in a one-point game, Jonathan Kuminga got called for a loose-ball foul 80 feet from his basket. He’d jockeyed with Jalen Green amid a helter-skelter play. As Green secured the ball, his teammates tried to call for a timeout. Kuminga tied him up on the ground.

Instead of granting Houston a timeout or calling a jump ball, the officials sent Green to the line for what became the game-winning free throws.
