QUESTION: What did you see on the video replay to overturn the call from a defensive foul to a no-call?

ZARBA: In our opinion, there was clear and conclusive evidence that the leg extension by Tatum created that marginal contact with the defender Garland where otherwise contact wouldn’t have been made. That’s why it was overturned.

QUESTION: How did Jayson Tatum’s contact on the play impact the contact made by Darius Garland and in what way did that contribute to the overturned call?

ZARBA: It’s our opinion that the leg extension by Tatum created the marginal contact and Garland did not make any illegal contact at all. That’s why it was overturned.
