The most controversial officiating moments of 2019

The Rams-Saints, the World Series, Stanley Cup playoffs and NBA all saw plenty of controversy in 2019.

Warriors-Wolves

USAT

With Golden State trailing by three and 5.8 seconds remaining in overtime, Kevin Durant received the inbounds pass and went up for a long 3-pointer. The ball went in as the whistle sounded, leading everyone to think Durant had a chance to give the Warriors the lead with a four-point play. But the refs ruled that the foul occurred before the shot. No basket, ball out of bounds to the Warriors. Later, with 0.5 seconds remaining, the Wolves attempted a lob pass to Karl-Anthony Towns that sailed about a mile over his head out of bounds, seemingly ending the first overtime. However, the referee whistled that Durant had pushed Towns in the back while he was attempting to catch the pass, giving Towns two free throws. He stepped up to the line and made the first, then missed the second on purpose to give the Wolves the one-point victory.
