Officials Explain Goaltending Review Rule and Inadvertent Whistle in Rockets-76ers Game
Pool report explains why Tyrese Maxey’s late-goal attempt wasn’t reviewed for goaltending: a goaltend review must be triggered on the floor by a called goaltend, and the inadvertent whistle stemmed from an official misreading a timeout request during a stoppage; since the original call wasn’t goaltending, a post-play review wasn’t possible.
