NBA says referees blew late foul call on DeMarcus Cousins in Kings’ loss to Bulls

The Kings lost a tough one in Chicago on Saturday, aided at least in part by an incorrect foul call on DeMarcus Cousins in the closing seconds. The NBA admitted as much in its Last Two Minute report Sunday, stating that the touch foul Cousins committed on Dwyane Wade shouldn't have been called.

"Cousins has his hand on Wade's back while he is airborne, but he does not extend his arm and push him and the contact does not affect the shot attempt."
