On May 23, Beijing time, the NBA officially released the referee's report for the last two minutes of the G1 game. The report showed that there were two missed judgments in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter and the last two minutes of overtime, and the Celtics were the losers of the two missed judgments. Even so, the Celtics still narrowly beat the Pacers in overtime, and Jay Brown hit a three point tie, dragging the game into overtime. Tatum scored 10 points in overtime alone, leading the team to win.
The first missed judgment occurred in 1:46 seconds before the end of the fourth quarter. Turner stayed in his own restricted area for more than three seconds without actively defending the other players. This was a missed three second defense violation. The walkers benefited and the Celtics suffered.
The second missed judgment occurred when there was still 1 minute and 1 second before the end of the fourth quarter. When Harry Burton closed the ball, his pivot foot was on his left foot, and he took more than two steps before taking the shot. This was a missed step violation. The walkers made profits while the Celtics suffered losses.
The referee's report showed that there was no omission in the last two minutes of overtime.
Previously, the referee's decision in this game had caused some controversy because the Green Army had 30 free throws, while the Pacers had only 10. However, the referee's report in the last two minutes showed that the Green Army suffered twice at the critical moment. The Pacers made two fatal mistakes at the end of the fourth quarter, allowing the Green Army to seize the opportunity to level the score and drag into overtime. In overtime, Nasmith, who had been effective in defending Tatum (1 in 7 when playing against him), made six offenses. After Nasmith left the game, Tatum scored 10 points to lock the victory.
The Green Army's Tatum has 36 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, Holliday has 28 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, and Brown has 26 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. The Pacers' Siakam had 24 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists, Turner 23 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, and Harry Burton contributed 25 points and 10 assists. Although he hit two magic three-point shots in the game, he still swallowed the defeat. The Celtics got off to a good start in three consecutive rounds, and the Pacers have lost their first game in five consecutive playoffs, including last season.
