A day after the Christmas day matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, the NBA released its Last Two Minute Report and revealed that there were missed calls in favor of the defending champions.

Kevin Durant fell to the ground in his attempt to win the game for his team with time running out and no foul was called, LeBron James threw down a huge slam and hung on to the rim without any need for it and did not receive a technical foul. The report stated these should not have been the case and would've helped the Warriors' cause.

Instead of dwelling on the loss, Durant recently blasted the NBA for putting the blame solely on the referees and came to the their defense.

The former MVP and four-time scoring champion is not the first player to call out the NBA for their report that does not change the results of games. Most recently, Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade also gave his thoughts on it and even went as far as saying that he hates it.

With the report continuing to be controversial especially to some players and the amount of criticism it's been taking for quite some time now, it won't be surprising if the league will look into altering or even removing the rule completely after the season. It has not been received well by the losing teams as they feel there's no use for it since the results of games remain final even if there are lapses seen after their review.
