  • 00:15.6 Foul: Loose Ball Correct non-call
    Derrick White on Jaylen Brown

    White (SAS) and Brown (BOS) dive to the ground in pursuit of the loose ball and White makes clean ball contact to tie it up. A jump ball is correctly called.

  • 00:14.2 Turnover: 8 Second Violation Correct non-call
