  Edwards (MIN) is in the paint for longer than three seconds without imminently actively guarding an opponent.

• 01:06.2 Turnover: Traveling Correct non-call
  Kyrie Irving on Timberwolves

  Irving (DAL) gathers the ball while stepping back on his left foot, and comes to a stop on his first step (his right) with both feet on the floor. He then lifts his right foot, establishing his left as his pivot and releases the ball to start his dribble.

• 00:42.6 Foul: Offensive Correct non-call
  Rudy Gobert on Derrick Jones Jr.

  Gobert (MIN) does not establish a legal screening position in Jones Jr.'s (DAL) path. However, Jones Jr. slips the contact and therefore no foul is warranted.

• 00:33.4 Foul: Personal Correct non-call
  Rudy Gobert on Kyrie Irving

  Gobert (MIN) maintains a legal guarding position on Irving (DAL) and Irving loses the ball on his own accord.

• 00:20.3 Foul: Personal Correct call
  Daniel Gafford on Mike Conley

  Gafford (DAL) is stepping toward Conley (MIN) and makes lower body contact that dislodges him from his position.

• 00:13.2 Foul: Shooting Incorrect call
  Anthony Edwards on Luka Doncic

  Edwards (MIN) fouls Doncic (DAL) before he has gathered the ball, extending his hand across Doncic's arm as he attempts to gather. Since MIN is in the penalty, the basket should have been wiped and Doncic should have taken two free throws.

• 00:12.2 Foul: Shooting Correct non-call
  Kyrie Irving on Naz Reid

  Irving (DAL) grazes Reid's (MIN) arm during the layup attempt.

• 00:09.4 Foul: Loose Ball Correct non-call

• 00:01.9 Foul: Shooting Correct non-call
  Anthony Edwards on Luka Doncic

  Edwards (MIN) maintains verticality and absorbs the contact that occurs during Doncic's (DAL) layup attempt.

• 00:00.2 Stoppage: TimeOut Correct call
  Mavericks on Timberwolves

  Referees were reasonably certain that the clock malfunctioned, with the ball going out of bounds prior to the clock reaching 00:00. The clock was adjusted to two tenths of a second and play resumed with DAL possession following the out of bounds.

Verdicts and comments are the NBA's, published in its Last Two Minute Report. Only games within three points at the two-minute mark are reviewed, so this is officiating under maximum scrutiny rather than a sample of officiating generally.
