After the Game , when asked about the final possession, Westbrook called attention to what he deemed was a foul on Embiid that was missed by the officials. The Lakers guard said "I couldn't get my hand up to shoot because [Embiid] was grabbing it." Monday, the league's Last Two Minute Report from the Game unveiled that the officials made the correct no-call . In the league's explanation it said, "Embiid slightly extends his arm before retracting it and marginal arm contact occurs with Westbrook during the driving shot attempt.&quo
