The NBA's last two-minute report revealed an intriguing error that would have benefitted Jalen Brunson in the New York Knicks' Game 1 road upset win over the San Antonio Spurs in the 2026 NBA Finals on Wednesday night.
Brunson performed at a high level throughout his 37 minutes of action, especially in the fourth quarter. He delivered 13 of his 30 points in the last 12 minutes of regulation, shooting 12-of-31 from the field that includes 2-of-9 from beyond the arc.
One of his big shots in the final period saw him make a difficult shot over Devin Vassell, which proved to be the dagger in Game 1. The NBA doubled down on this fact with the two-minute report, showing that the officials should have called a foul on Vassell.
“The NBA’s L2M Report says that Devin Vassell should have been called for a foul for the contact made with Jalen Brunson on this play 👀,” the post read.
“Vassell (SAS) steps forward toward Brunson (NYK) after Brunson has started his shooting motion,” the report stated.
