NBA Admits Major Missed Call in Clippers-Suns

The LA Clippers faced off against the Phoenix Suns on Monday night in one of the most important games of the season for both teams.

It seemed like LA was going to get blown out due to their poor three-point defense, but they rallied all the way back to make it a one-point game before losing. Throughout the game, there was one player in particular who was really unhappy with the officiating - Ivica Zubac.

After the loss, Zubac claimed his dunk over Mason Plumlee in the final minutes of the game should have been a three-point play. Not only that, but he felt like numerous plays didn't receive a foul.

“It was an and-one. I don’t know what I have to do to get a foul call. I feel like I should’ve had like four and-ones tonight," Zubac said. "I’m used to it, but like in the moment I’m always like how is that not a foul? What do I have to do? Should I flop like some of the guys? I don’t know."
