On June 15, the NBA officially released the referee report for the last two minutes of the finals G4. The report shows that in the last two minutes of the game, there were no mistakes and missed judgments. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Pacers 111-104 away and tied the total score 2-2.

The biggest controversy at this critical moment of the game should be the goal Alexander broke through Nesmith's defense and took a step and made a mid-range shot. That goal allowed the Thunder to overtake the score. Many fans believed that Alexander pushed people in that offense, which made Nesmith fall and should have called for an offensive foul, but since the goal happened 2 minutes and 23 seconds before the end of the game, it was not within the evaluation range of the last two minutes, so the official did not explain the most controversial ball. There were 17 sentences (or no sentences) in the last two minutes officially announced by

, all of which were fined. But celebrity Bill Simmons talked about Foster's G4 call on the podcast. He said: "It's simply too bad. Foster's whistle style is really messy. He has all kinds of strange blew stops, missed judgments, and body whistles. Some people even didn't call fouls when they were beaten to the end. They completely controlled the game. There were more than 70 free throws in the whole game, and the coaches and players on both sides were crazy. Everyone was crazy. This kind of yelling was unreasonable." In the end, the Thunder were blew 26 fouls in the whole game, and the Pacers were blew 27 fouls in the whole game, which was almost the same. In terms of free throws, the Thunder got 38 free throws and made 34 free throws, with a shooting percentage of up to 89.5%. The Pacers received 33 free throws, but only scored 25 goals, with a free throw shooting percentage of 75.8%. Especially Matherin made 1 of 4 free throws at the last critical moment, which made the Pacers lose the opportunity to catch up with the score.
