NBA's 'Last Two Minute Report' rules on Game 5 no-call trip in Pistons vs Cavs

The NBA released its 'Last Two Minute Report' on May 14, 2026, ruling that referees made the correct non-call late in Game 5 of the Pistons vs. Cavaliers playoff series on May 13. The report confirmed all 36 potential calls in the final two minutes of regulation and overtime were handled correctly. The league determined that Cavs center Jarrett Allen and Pistons forward Ausar Thompson both legally stepped to the same spot pursuing a loose ball, with both players losing balance from marginal contact, meaning no foul should have been called — a call that would have given Thompson two free throws with the game tied.
