This won't help ease the pain of Thursday night's Boston Celtics loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, but the NBA's last two-minute report at least acknowledges a mistake made by the officials on a key play in the fourth quarter.
With 25.7 seconds remaining in a 112-109 game, Jayson Tatum's inbound pass to Jaylen Brown resulted in a critical turnover. There appeared to be an obvious foul made by Josh Richardson on the play, but the refs swallowed the whistle.

The last two-minute report states a foul should have been called as Richardson "clamps Brown's arm while the ball is being thrown in and affects his ability to receive the pass."
The C's went on to fall to the Sixers, 115-109. They'll have a few days to think about the botched call before they visit the Dallas Mavericks for a matchup Wednesday night.
