The Detroit Pistons didn’t take consolation from the NBA’s admission {that a} foul ought to have been referred to as on Josh Hart on the finish of their Sport 4 loss to the Knicks.

If something, that made it worse.

“That makes it sting more, for sure,” Pistons ahead Tobias Harris mentioned Tuesday earlier than Sport 5 at Madison Sq. Backyard. “But that’s in the past now. It’s heartbreaking, obviously, but that’s over with.”

In a Final Two Minute Report launched Monday, the NBA mentioned Hart made “more than marginal” physique contact with Tim Hardaway Jr. because the Pistons guard tried a 3-pointer within the waning seconds of the Knicks’ 94-93 win in Detroit on Sunday.

The foul went uncalled, and time expired as Hardaway’s desperation shot missed extensive of the basket, placing Detroit in a 3-1 gap within the best-of-seven first-round playoff sequence.

The NBA labeled the sequence as an “incorrect non-call,” echoing the sentiment that crew chief David Guthrie shared shortly after Sport 4.

“What’s the point of doing that if we can’t go back and shoot free throws?” Pistons guard Malik Beasley mentioned Tuesday of the NBA’s admission.

The controversial non-call capped a hyper-physical Sport 4 through which contact repeatedly went uncalled. That play was the one one within the final two minutes that the NBA mentioned ought to have been officiated otherwise.

“We knew they got it wrong in the moment, so it’s really no difference,” Pistons star Cade Cunningham mentioned Tuesday. “It doesn’t make us feel, like, validated hearing that or anything. But when the buzzer goes off, the game is over.”

The fateful possession started with a missed jumper by Cunningham with beneath 10 seconds on the sport clock. Harris and Hart obtained twisted up as they fought for the rebound, and the unfastened ball in the end rolled away from Mikal Bridges and into the palms of Hardaway.

The NBA mentioned in its Final Two Minute Report that the officers’ choice to not name a unfastened ball foul on Harris in that frantic sequence was right.

“To be honest, I thought that he pulled my arm in,” Harris mentioned. “It can go both ways selectively, whatever somebody wants to believe. Then I see pictures saying that I’m out of bounds, it just made me really realize that the internet propaganda is just unbelievable.”

Harris added, “It’s a physical game. We talk all game long, guys go in for boards, pushing and shoving. Josh Hart is shoving. I’m shoving. We’re trying to get the basketball, right?”

On the ultimate shot, Hardaway pump faked to get Hart within the air, then drew contact as he heaved the ball towards the basket.

“Did I make contact with him? Yeah, I made contact with him,” Hart mentioned afterward. “Was it legal? I don’t know. We’ll let the two-minute report say that.”

The non-call drew the ire of Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff, who ran onto the court docket to argue with the officers as quickly as time expired.

Bickerstaff remained perplexed at his postgame press convention, saying, “There’s contact on his jump shot. The guy leaves his feet, he’s at Timmy’s mercy, and I repeat, there’s contact on his jump shot.”

Sunday’s end additional fueled a dramatic sequence through which Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau was equally miffed after his workforce’s Sport 2 loss. On that evening, the Pistons tried 34 free throws to the Knicks’ 19 — a discrepancy Thibodeau described as “huge.”

Regardless of their frustration with Sport 4, the Pistons vowed they might not let it have an effect on them in Sport 5.

“We’ve been rebounding all year, so I think this has been the easiest one,” Beasley mentioned. “Obviously, it’s the most-hurt one, but we know the value of the next game and how important this game is, so I think all of us have a next-game mentality.”
