Referees association refutes NBA's ruling that Draymond fouled Davis

On Wednesday afternoon, the NBA released its "Last Two Minute Report" from the Warriors-Pelicans game on Tuesday night.

The league ruled that Draymond Green should have been called for a foul when he stole the ball from Anthony Davis in the closing seconds.

On Thursday afternoon, the National Basketball Referees Association responded on Twitter.

"Referees in the Warriors-Pelicans game made the correct no-call here, and whoever reviewed the play is incorrect"

"Shirt grab is marginal & incidental, did not affect the speed, quickness, balance or rhythm of the offensive player"

The tweet included a picture that focuses in on the NBA's comment in reference to the "incorrect non-call."

"It was definitely clean," Draymond told reporters after the game. "I hit the ball as he (Davis) was trying to throw his shoulder into me. And that's what happened. And I've seen the replay, which is what I thought happened, really happened.

"Yeah, I thought it was really clean."
