However, the NBA has now revealed that Randle should have been called for a travel on the play.

Via Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports: "Fun stuff on the NBA’s Last 2 Minutes report. Says Julius Randle’s push-off on Josh Okogie was a correct no-call, but also that there was a missed travel on the final play by Randle."

The game would have likely gone into overtime (if the Suns didn't win it on the final possession).

For a team that is already playing without Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, it was an unfortunate missed call.

The Suns dropped to 9-5 in their first 14 games, which has them as the fifth seed in the Western Conference.

They are in the middle of a three-game losing streak.

That said, the Suns have a quick chance to redeem themselves, as they are hosting the Orlando Magic on Monday in Arizona.
