"Wolves-Hornets game had 10 missed calls in final 2 minutes"-Espo

TEN? Oh boy, that is Not. Good. It was a close game, too!

The game came down to the wire, with the Hornets storming back from an 18-point deficit to win 128-125.

...according to the NBA's L2M Report...Three of the incorrect calls favored Minnesota and six favored Charlotte, including a missed shooting foul that would've given Karl-Anthony Towns a chance to give the Timberwolves a lead with less than five seconds left. [Oh my God, so that one affected the outcome of the game!] One foul against the Hornets was assigned to the incorrect player (Brandon Miller instead of P.J. Washington).

In all, the Hornets should've been whistled for two shooting fouls, two travels/double dribble, a loose ball foul and a personal foul. The Wolves got away with two shooting fouls as well as an offensive foul on the final possession of the game.

Who were the Three Blind Mice on this refereeing crew? Une momento...
