    Jalen Duren on Josh Hart

  • 00:05.8 Turnover: Backcourt Turnover Correct non-call
    Jalen Brunson on Pistons

    Brunson's (NYK) momentum carries him into the backcourt when he first touches the ball, so he is not considered to be in a positive frontcourt position. During a throw-in in the last two minutes of the fourth period, a player does not attain frontcourt (or backcourt) status until they have established a positive position in that half of the court.

  • 00:03.5 Foul: Personal Correct call
    Ausar Thompson on Jalen Brunson

    Thompson (DET) commits a take foul on Brunson (NYK).

    Malik Beasley on Jalen Brunson

    Beasley (DET) commits a take foul on Brunson (NYK).

  • 00:00.5 Instant Replay: Overturn Ruling Correct call
    Pistons on Knicks

    Following Brunson's (NYK) missed free throw attempt, the game clock erroneously starts early. After communicating with the Replay Center, it is determined that there were 0.5 seconds remaining on the game clock at the time of the clock malfunction. Since Detroit would imminently possess the ball, play resumes with Detroit's possession.

  • 00:00.5 Turnover: Inbound Turnover Incorrect non-call
    Jalen Duren on Knicks

    Duren (DET) takes multiple steps to his left, leaving the designated throw-in spot.

    Jalen Brunson on Ausar Thompson

    Brunson (NYK) and Thompson (DET) briefly engage before Brunson releases to receive the pass.
