QUESTION: Why were the Grizzlies awarded a timeout late in the fourth quarter where Taylor Jenkins appeared to not signal for a timeout?

 

TAYLOR: The official thought he heard Coach (Jenkins) yell timeout from behind him and so he awarded the timeout. But after realizing that Coach Jenkins didn’t (call timeout) it becomes an inadvertent whistle and we put the ball on the side out in that scenario.
