Saturday was pure disappointment for the Golden State Warriors. Their five-game winning streak ran into a Quentin Grimes-shaped wall, with the Dubs losing to the lowly Philadelphia 76ers.

It was also a game that took quite a long time to conclude. There were plenty of whistles and controversial calls in the final minutes, including a pair of replay reviews triggered by coach’s challenges.
But how accurate were those calls, and how warranted was the controversy?
