Q4

    LaVine (SAC) places his off-arm against Jones Jr. (LAC) and releases from contact as he slows his momentum.

  • 01:40.6 Foul: Shooting Correct call
    Keegan Murray on Kawhi Leonard

    Murray (SAC) jumps into and initiates contact with Leonard's (LAC) body, which affects his driving shot attempt.

  • 01:34.3 Foul: Personal Correct non-call
    Derrick Jones Jr. on Jonas Valančiūnas

    Jones Jr. (LAC) immediately slides his hand off Valanciunas' (SAC) body and the contact is marginal during the pick.

    Valanciunas (SAC) delivers illegal leg-to-leg contact to Harden (LAC) during the screen.

  • 01:20.5 Foul: Shooting Correct non-call
    Zach LaVine on Ivica Zubac

    LaVine's (SAC) hand brushes Zubac's (LAC) arm and the contact is marginal during the dunk.

  • 01:05.4 Stoppage: Inadvertent Whistle Correct non-call
    Derrick Jones Jr. on DeMar DeRozan

    Replay review of the foul called on Jones Jr. (LAC) pursuant to a coach's challenge was deemed successful. Jones Jr. makes incidental contact with DeRozan's (SAC) hand after he has released his shot, and some marginal arm contact thereafter. The ball is loose at the point of interruption and therefore play resumes with a jump ball at center circle.

  • 00:26.5 Foul: Shooting Correct non-call
    Amir Coffey on DeMar DeRozan

    Coffey (LAC) obtains a legal guarding position in front of DeRozan (SAC) during his jump shot attempt. Coffey maintains that position as DeRozan drifts into him and the contact is incidental.

  • 00:13.2 Foul: Shooting Correct non-call
    Jonas Valančiūnas on James Harden

    Valanciunas (SAC) jumps to contest Harden's (LAC) driving shot attempt and the ensuing contact after his release is marginal.

    Leonard (LAC) briefly has an arm around DeRozan (SAC) during the throw-in and immediately removes it.

Q5

  • 01:59.5 Stoppage: Out-of-Bounds Correct call
    Amir Coffey on Keon Ellis

    Ellis (SAC) throws the ball off Coffey's (LAC) body and Coffey is the last player to touch the ball before it rolls out of bounds.

  • 01:52.3 Foul: Offensive Correct non-call
    Jonas Valančiūnas on Derrick Jones Jr.

  • 01:50.2 Foul: Shooting Correct non-call
    Ivica Zubac on DeMar DeRozan

    Zubac (LAC) legally contests DeRozan's (SAC) jump shot, making "high-five" contact after the ball is released. Additionally, Zubac allows DeRozan to land following the release of his jump shot attempt.

  • 01:24.2 Foul: Shooting Correct call
    Amir Coffey on DeMar DeRozan

    Coffey (LAC) initiates contact with DeRozan's (SAC) arm, which affects his driving shot attempt. The illegal contact occurs after DeRozan's gather on a drive that originates outside of the LDB and ends inside it, and therefore a shooting foul is correctly called.

  • 01:00.9 Stoppage: Inadvertent Whistle Correct non-call
    James Harden on Jake LaRavia

    Replay review of the out of bounds called on Harden (LAC) pursuant to a coach's challenge was deemed unsuccessful. Harden is the last player to touch the ball before it goes out of bounds.

  • 00:49.5 Foul: Shooting Correct non-call
    Kawhi Leonard on Jonas Valančiūnas

    Leonard (LAC) makes contact with the ball to dislodge it from Valanciunas's (SAC) possession and any contact with his arm is marginal.

  • 00:39.7 Instant Replay: Support Ruling Correct call
    Clippers on Kings

    After communicating with the Replay Center, it is determined that the ball never makes contact with the rim and therefore the shot clock was erroneously reset at the 00:46.6 mark. Play continued and DeRozan (SAC) releases his shot attempt prior to when the shot clock would have hypothetically expired and the basket is scored.

  • 00:30.4 Foul: Shooting Correct non-call
    Jake LaRavia on James Harden
