Van Vleet's tied three-pointer, and the Warriors did not foul.

The Rockets coach failed the challenge. The referee report pointed out that the replay review result determined that the challenge failed because the replay showed that Dillon reached out to touch Butler's body, interfering with his jump shot. The penalty for this defensive foul was accurate.

With 7.1 seconds left before the end of the game, Shin Kyung made a single and missed the shot. The referee report pointed out that when Shin Jingqi jumped into action, Zhu Meng had already established a legal defensive position in front of him, and did not actively cause illegal physical contact. It was correct for the referee not to sound the whistle.
