NBA says it blew call on Karl-Anthony Towns shot

It’s not going to do anybody any good now, a day late and a win short. But for the record:

Karl-Anthony Towns was not out of bounds when he hit a three-pointer that would have put the Timberwolves three points up on Indiana in Friday’s 116-114 loss to the Pacers.

That’s what the NBA’s 2-minute report said. The score was tied 114-114 when Towns hit the shot, only to have it waved off because the official deemed his heel was out of bounds.

Considering only one basket — by Indiana — was scored over the game’s final 76 seconds, it shows how game-turning that call might have been.
