Told ya.
The NBA's Last 2 Minute Report confirms the out of bounds whistle on Stephon Castle was INCORRECT.
In addition, NBA writer @TomerAzarly received confirmation from the league that Josh Hart should have been whistled for a foul on the Castle drive.
Down 105-104 with 1:02 remaining, the Spurs were already in the bonus and the correct call would have given Castle a golden opportunity to take the lead with two massive free throws.
These very young @Spurs made it to the Conference Finals! Amazing work by players, coaches, staff, and everybody involved.
Now let's go for more! 💪

The Spurs win Game 6 on the road and advance to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2017!

Paul Pierce on Victor Wembanyama getting ejected:
“In my day it’s just a offensive foul and we move on. In today everybody so soft you kick everybody out the game, oh he should be in jail for that elbow. Get that out of here, bro. It’s flagrant one let’s play on. Let’s play our best vs your best not let the refs dictate the series. All right here, give them some free throws let’s move on. Let them play.”

There will be no further discipline for Spurs star Victor Wembanyama after he was ejected for elbowing Naz Reid in Minnesota on Sunday night, sources tell ESPN. No suspension, no fine. Wembanyama will play in Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday night in San Antonio.
This is how you protect your franchise player
Wemby has been getting absolutely fouled and pushed around all series
Wolves aren't playing basketball with Wemby, they just beating him up
