In its Last Two Minute Report, the league ruled that an incorrect no call was
made when Boston's Kemba Walker drove for the go-ahead score with 4.4 seconds
remaining in the fourth quarter with the score tied at 98.

OG Anunoby should have been called for a shooting foul, sending Walker to the
line for the potential go-ahead free throws.

"Anunoby (TOR) makes contact to Walker's (BOS) arm during his shooting motion
that affects his driving shot attempt," the league wrote.

A second incorrect no call also benefited the Raptors. The league ruled
Toronto guard Norman Powell should have been whistled for traveling with 1:35
remaining in the first overtime. Instead, Powell was fouled and made two free
throws to give Toronto a 106-104 lead.

The game went into double overtime where the Raptors won it to force Game 7 of
the Eastern Conference semifinals best-of-seven series on Friday night.
