    Darius Garland on Jayson Tatum

After the release, marginal lower body contact occurs with Tatum's partially extended right leg. Additionally - the contact from Tatum's right leg does not take Garland out of the play, and neither an offensive nor a shooting foul are warranted. Neither team is in imminent possession of the ball at the time of the whistle and play correctly resumes with a jump ball at center circle.

  • 00:00.0 Stoppage: TimeOut Correct non-call
    Celtics on Cavaliers

    The game clock expires as White (BOS) secures possession, and Coach Mazulla (BOS) signals for a timeout after the game has ended.
