The Pool Report interview was conducted by Dan Woike (L.A. Times) with Crew Chief Josh Tiven following tonight’s Mavericks at Lakers Game.   

QUESTION:  Why did Russell Westbrook shoot two free throws with 11.8 seconds remaining and not Dennis Schroder?

TIVEN: Because Bullock fouled Westbrook not Schroder and that was confirmed at replay.

QUESTION: Originally it was determined on the floor that it was Schroder and that was what was overturned?

TIVEN:  That is correct.

QUESTION: Why was there no call on Troy Brown Jr.’s 3-point attempt at the end of regulation?

TIVEN: Because Hardaway Jr. gets a piece of the ball on the closeout and then does make some high five contact, which is legal and that play was correctly no called.
