POOL REPORT ON THE POTENTIAL GOALTEND AT THE END OF THE TRAIL BLAZERS AT JAZZ GAME:

 INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY JAMIE HUDSON (NBC Sports Northwest) WITH CREW CHIEF JOSH TIVEN FOLLOWING TONIGHT’S PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS AT UTAH JAZZ GAME

February 7, 2020

QUESTION: Was Lillard’s shot reviewable for a goaltend, and if so, why was it not reviewed? 

TIVEN: “No, it was not reviewable since no goaltending call was made on the floor. Goaltending is only reviewable if we actually call it. The call needs to be made for a goaltending to be reviewable. We’ve since looked at it via postgame video review, and unfortunately saw that we missed the play, and a goaltending violation should have been called.”
