NBA says pivotal no-call in final minute of Celtics-Sixers should have been a foul

It hasn’t been a good week for Boston sports and missed calls.

According to the NBA’s Last Two Minute report, Jaylen Brown was fouled by 76ers guard Josh Richardson while trying to receive an inbound pass with 25.7 seconds remaining in the Celtics’ loss on Thursday.

The play occurred after Joel Embiid made two free-throws to put the 76ers up, 112-109. Tatum was the inbounder, and he passed it to Brown. Brown fell due to the contact from Richardson, and the ball went out of bounds.

The NBA’s L2M report rules that Josh Richardson should have Ben called for a foul on Jaylen Brown on the Jayson Tatum inbound pass that went out of bounds.
