Rod Boone @rodbooneNBA’s two-minute report says the review of Terry Rozier’s foul resulting in two free throws for Kevin Love was INCORRECT. Rozier’s foul occurred before the shot and he “makes contact to Love’s arm prior to his shooting motion and a non-shooting foul should have been assessed.” – 6:45 PM
Marla Ridenour @MRidenourABJNBA last 2-minute report said #Cavs @Kevin Love should not have gotten game-winning free throws vs #Hornets. “The replay outcome is incorrect, as Rozier makes contact to Love’s arm prior to his shooting motion and a non-shooting foul should have been assessed.” – 6:23 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedorThe sting of an All-Star snub. Disappointment over some recent performances. A challenge from J.B. Bickerstaff that he asked for Wednesday night. And uplifting from Kevin Love. It all led to #Cavs Jarrett Allen’s career night — and an emphatic message.

Kelsey Russo @kelseyyrussoWOW. Free throws had been an issue as of late for Cleveland, but Kevin Love comes in, knocks down two and the Cavs hold it down on the defensive end in the final 1.2 seconds. #Cavs win 102-101 over the Hornets.
Jarrett Allen finished with 29 pts and 22 rebounds. Love with 25 pts – 9:28 PM
Kelsey Russo @kelseyyrussoAnd Kevin Love makes both free throws to give the #Cavs a 102-101 lead with 1.2 seconds left.

Chris Mannix: NBA L2M report rules a correct no-call on Seth Curry’s end of regulation attempt on Monday: “As Curry drifts away from the basket, momentum carries him backwards towards Jackson Jr., who otherwise would avoid making contact with Curry. The marginal contact is caused by Curry.” -via Twitter @SIChrisMannix / February 1, 2022 Kristian Winfield: NBA’s Last 2 Minute report says Stephen Curry abnormally jumped to create contact with Kessler Edwards at the 1:44 mark in the 4th quarter. Steve Nash opted not to challenge the foul call. Could have been a game-swinging decision. -via Twitter @Krisplashed / January 30, 2022 Rod Beard: May not mean much to #Pistons now, but in the NBA’s Last-Two-Minute Report, the play where Nikola Jokic got the offensive rebound and putback, he pushed off Isaiah Stewart, and it should have been called a foul. Score was tied at 111 with about 1:30 left in 4Q. -via Twitter @detnewsRodBeard / January 24, 2022
