Overview
- The NBA's Last Two Minutes Report deemed the no-call on Pascal Siakam's screen against Derrick White an incorrect non-call, saying Siakam failed to give time or distance.
- On the deciding possession, Siakam screened White, took a pass from Andrew Nembhard and banked in a floater with roughly 6 seconds remaining for a 98-96 Pacers win.
- Mazzulla's postgame availability lasted about 44 seconds, during which he answered six questions only with the phrase "illegal screen."
- The officiating crew led by Pat Fraher called just 14 total fouls and no offensive fouls, the lowest foul total in any NBA game this season according to reports.
- Days earlier, the NBA fined Jaylen Brown $35,000 for public criticism of officiating, underscoring the Celtics’ ongoing frustration with the whistle this season.
