Detroit – JB BickerStaff wanted answers.
He got them, although they could not have legs he was looking for.
The Pistons could have had a real shot to tie the score at the end of game 3 of the Knicks in Thorsday night game at Little Caesars Arena.
BickerStaff complained about an unmarried controversial that would have given them that opportunity.
Dennis Schroder published three images of the work in his history of Instagram, along with an Eyballs emoji.
But the NBA says the decision was correct.
With remaining 5.8 seconds, Jalen Brunson received an entrance pass from Mikal Bridges.
The pass took him back to his own basket, but the ball came for the first time at his hand when he was on the front court.
Brunson then entered the back track with the ball.
It was not called by a rape of the rear track, despite the pleasure of the pistons and their fans.
The Knicks uploaded 116-113 at that time, so if I had called Been, the Pistons would have Gods the ball in a game of possession with enough time to get a quality shot.
“The Brunscan game where the ball catches on the front court, acknowledges that he is preparing to go on the back, and the BickerStaff said after the game.” And we had a waiting time with 5.8 seconds on the clock. So, there are some things about which I have questions, and I am interested in hearing some answers. “
According to the rules book, “if the impulse of the offensive player who receives the pass takes him to the back track,” it is not a rear track rape if the receiving player did not establish a position with total possession of the ball on the front track.
That is exactly what explained team leader Zach Zarba after the game.
“Rule 4, section 6g, the state of the front background track is not obtained until a player with the ball has established a positive position in any half, in this case, duration of the launch in the last two minutes of the fourth period and the last two”, Tsar. “Then, obviously that’s where we are at that point. Brunson and the path of the pass headed towards the back.

“Brunson’s impulse was taking him there when he touches the ball.
In other words, the referees determined Brunson, did not set on the front court with possession before entering the back.
On Friday, the NBA competed that it was the right decision in its two -minute report.
“Brunson’s impulse takes him to the back track when he plays the ball for the first time, so he is not considered to be in a positive position of the front track,” said the league in its report. “Duration A launch in the last two minutes of the fourth period, a player does not attack the state of the front track (or the rear track) until he has established a positive position in the middle of the court.”
