Damian Lillard, Trail Blazers Furious After Missed Call vs. Jazz

The Portland Trail Blazers were furious on Friday night after a missed goaltending violation cost them a shot to tie the game against the Utah Jazz.

With 19.5 seconds left, Utah's Donovan Mitchell scored a go-ahead layup. Portland's Damian Lillard tried to answer with a layup on the other end, but Rudy Gobert blocked the shot with 11.2 seconds left in the Trail Blazer's 117–114 loss.

Gobert committed goaltending by blocking the shot off the glass. But, the officiating crew made no call on the play.

"We get to the last play of the game and they miss a easy call," Lillard said.
