    Davis (LAL) makes marginal contact to Barrett's (NYK) body that does not affect his driving shot attempt.

  • 00:38.0 Foul: Delay Technical Incorrect call
    RJ Barrett on Lakers

    Before the inbound, Barrett (NYK) makes contact with the ball while it is still in James' (LAL) hand and a delay of game call was warranted for preventing the ball from promptly being put into play. However, since Barrett was out of bounds at the time of the contact, a delay of game warning was warranted (which would not result in a free throw), but not a delay of game technical (which results in a free throw). The latter penalty would have been correct had Barrett been inbounds and broken the plane of the boundary line (in the last two minutes of the game or overtime).
