The Pool Report interview was conducted by Coty Davis (Detroit News) with Crew Chief Tony Brothers following tonight’s Cavaliers at Pistons game.

 May 13, 2026

 QUESTION: Why wasn’t a foul called on that last possession in regulation involving Ausar Thompson on Jarrett Allen?

 BROTHERS: During live play, both players were going for the ball and there was incidental contact with the legs with no player having possession of the ball.

QUESTION: So, no foul should have been called?

 BROTHERS: No, there was incidental contact on the play.  The play will be reviewed by the league office tomorrow and it will be posted in the L2M.

QUESTION: Why wasn’t Harden called for stepping out of bounds, instead there was a foul on Paul Reed.

 BROTHERS: The foul called prior to Harden stepping out of bounds.
