Postgame – Milwaukee at Oklahoma City – December 29, 2017

NBA Crew Chief Derrick Stafford met with pool reporter Brett Dawson of the Oklahoman after the game between the Thunder and Bucks tonight. Here is the transcript of that interview:

Q:  Why was there no review to see if Giannis Antetokounmpo stepped out of bounds on the layup with 1.3 seconds to play? Is that a reviewable play?

A: “In any reviewable matter, there has to be a whistle called on the floor. There was no whistle blown for the play, so we couldn’t review it.”
