A game of millimeters: Timberwolves top Lakers in thriller after LeBron James’ late shot ruled a two

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:05:49 GMT

Target Center sat in relative silence as the fate of the contest was essentially determined Saturday in MinneapolisA three or not a three — that was the question.The answer came up Timberwolves.Upon extensive video review, the NBA’s replay hub in Secaucus, New Jersey determined there was not enough evidence to overturn the on-court ruling that Lakers forward LeBron James — on his 39th birthday — had the tip of his big toe on the line when he rose up for a transition jumper with 2.3 seconds to play.So, instead of a tie game, Minnesota led by one. One made Anthony Edwards free-throw and a tandem stopping of James by Edwards and Rudy Gobert later, the Timberwolves emerged with a thrilling 108-106 home victory.James was well aware of the situation in the closing seconds. The Lakers corralled a rebound off a Mike Conley missed 3-point attempt, and James was found streaking in transition. At any other point in the game, James could’ve walked in for a flush. B...

Lions take issue with officials after potential winning 2-point pass is negated by penalty

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:05:49 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Detroit coach Dan Campbell said he explained to officials before playing the Dallas Cowboys what would happen on a 2-point conversion play the Lions had planned.Chaos ensued anyway, and left the Lions feeling as if a victory was taken away from the NFC North winners in their pursuit of the top seed in the NFC playoffs.Officials ruled offensive lineman Taylor Decker wasn’t an eligible receiver when he caught a 2-point conversion pass that would have given Detroit a one-point lead with 23 seconds remaining.Instead, the Lions (11-5) lost to the Cowboys 20-19 on Saturday night when the third 2-point try was an incomplete pass short of the goal line.Jared Goff threw an interception on the attempt after Decker’s catch was disallowed, but Dallas was offsides.The explanations contradicted each other, with Goff saying he was certain Decker reported as an eligible receiver and Dan Skipper had not. In a pool report, referee Brad Allen said the opposite, that...
