Did the officials get it right in a wild game?
The NBA's Last Two Minute Report from Sunday night's thrilling Lakers-Suns matchup has confirmed that officials made the correct calls on the two most controversial plays that decided the game.
The league's review brings some closure to one of the wildest finishes of the 2025-26 season.
The Los Angeles Lakers (18-7) escaped Phoenix with a heart-stopping 116-114 victory over the Phoenix Suns (11-7) after blowing a 20-point fourth-quarter lead.
The game's final seconds were filled with physical play, technical fouls, and an ejection that left fans debating the officiating long after the final buzzer.
The Brooks Contact: Correct Non-Call
The first reviewed play involved Dillon Brooks hitting a go-ahead three-pointer over LeBron James with 12.2 seconds remaining.
According to the L2M Report, James contested to the side of Brooks and would have avoided making contact if not for Brooks extending his left leg and knee towards James, making it a correct non-call.
The shot gave Phoenix a 114-113 lead, but what happened next turned the game on its head. Brooks bumped James on the way back down the court, earning his second technical foul and an automatic ejection.
James missed the resulting free throw, but that only delayed the chaos to come.
The Booker Foul: Correct Call Seals Victory
The second reviewed play proved to be the game-deciding moment.
Devin Booker fouled James on a three-point attempt with just 3.9 seconds left, and the L2M Report confirmed officials made the correct call.
Booker initiated contact with James' right arm and wrist as he was starting his upward shooting motion, warranting the foul.
The 40-year-old James, who finished with 26 points, missed the first free throw but calmly knocked down the final two to give the Lakers a 115-114 lead.
Grayson Allen's buzzer-beater attempt fell short, and Los Angeles escaped with a win that felt both deserved and fortunate.
A Physical Affair Throughout
Luka Doncic led the Lakers with 29 points despite shooting just 7-of-25 from the field.
Booker returned from a three-game absence due to a groin injury and led Phoenix with 27 points, but his late foul on James proved costly in the Suns' sixth loss in their last nine games.
Deandre Ayton dominated his former team with 20 points and 13 rebounds, while the Lakers' season-high 24 offensive rebounds helped offset their difficult shooting night.
The L2M Report's confirmation should provide validation for the Lakers, though it won't ease the frustration in Phoenix after such a tough collapse.
