NBA officials recently released a review of the referee's decision at the end of the game between the Clippers and the Warriors. All but one of the missed decisions were reported, including Paul George's three-point strike at a crucial moment.
The missed call came with 1:46 left in the game, when the Warriors led 107-106 and held the ball, Curry was caught by Harden, Leonard, Theis and George on the inside, and the final layup was blocked by the Clippers player, but the referee did not notice his step. The referee's report found other decisions correct, including George's final 8-second three-point shot and Dream's three-point shot that missed Curry's pass.
Overall, there weren't many controversial decisions in this game. Curry's missed step didn't affect the game and the outcome as the Clippers eventually got the ball. There weren't too many problems with the referees, and it was the Warriors who needed to reflect on it. They were reversed twice in a row in a week and needed to be adjusted. The 24-point reversal against the Kings and the Monk's stunner can be attributed to carelessness, but against the Clippers, the Warriors should have maintained the lead.
They led almost the entire time but couldn't withstand the pressure, resulting in George hitting a crucial three-pointer under Klay's defense. George scored 11 points in the first quarter and eventually hit a crucial three-pointer, revealing a problem with the Warriors' defensive strategy. Harden's third-quarter outburst led the Clippers to a comeback, showing their hunger for victory. The Warriors and Clippers have been in similar form this season, with both teams boasting multiple stars but failing to show enough strength.
Young players have not been given enough attention, while veterans such as Klay, Dream and Wiggins have been sluggish. Due to the injury, many games have to rely on Curry for support. Although he played a savior role in some games, he can't be expected to take on such a lot of pressure. Other players have to take on more responsibility to help the team get out of the slump.
