BLAIR:  During live play Giannis was called for illegal leg to leg contact on the drive by Ball to the basket.

QUESTION: What was the final determination in confirming the call?  

BLAIR:  During live play we called illegal leg to leg to contact.  During postgame review when we looked at the play there was no illegal contact on the play.
