The NBA says it made an officiating error during the Knicks’ late comeback in a recent game against the Mavericks, according to NBA review materials cited by multiple outlets. The league reports that a foul on Knicks guard Josh Hart was not called in a key sequence that helped swing the momentum during the comeback. The NBA’s disclosure attributes the missed foul to officials’ inability to correctly call the play in real time, rather than to any intent. The outlets also note that the error is significant because the missed call occurred in a critical stretch of the game, when events on the court helped the Knicks rally. The reports focus on the league’s acknowledgment that the foul was missed, while not characterizing whether the outcome would have been different under corrected officiating. Overall, the coverage centers on the NBA’s public clarification of what it says was an incorrect call involving Hart during the comeback.
