The NBA has released their Last Two Minute Report for Game 4 between the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings, and it admits one crucial missed call that would have given the Kings two free throws with 38 seconds left in the game.

The play in question came when Warriors forward Draymond Green made illegal contact with De'Aaron Fox's arm on a reach in, which should have been called a foul. Since the Kings were in the bonus, Fox would have gone to the line for two free throws.

This was a massive missed call in a game that was decided by just one point, and a call that Kings fans will rightfully be upset with. While there is no changing the call now, it undeniably had a massive impact in a game decided by just one point. Fox heading to the line for a pair of free throws in that spot would have given the Kings an opportunity to cut into the lead without any time coming off the clock.

Even with this massive blown call, the Kings did well to give themselves a quality last-second look for the win. Harrison Barnes ultimately missed the three-point attempt, and the Warriors evened the series at 2-2. Golden State and Sacramento will now enter a three-game series, with the first to two wins advancing to the Conference Semi-Finals.
