As a direct consequence of this, the Toronto Raptors would have committed a turnover. Instead, Chris Boucher fouled DeRozan when he was trying a 3-point shot, which meant that DeRozan needed to foul twice in order to have a chance to tie the game.
The league also came to the conclusion that Pascal Siakam was not deserving of an offensive foul penalty when there were only 3.4 seconds left on the clock and the Raptors inbound the ball play.
According to the findings of the study, Siakam did in fact make touch with Bulls guard Alex Caruso during the inbound pass; however, there is just a brief interaction between the two players before Siakam releases the ball.
According to the information provided in the report, “Caruso is not dislodged from his defensive position as a result of any illegal contact by Siakam.”
Chicago bulls was down by 17 points with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, but it staged a furious rally to force overtime. This forced the game to go into overtime. The Bulls were victorious in their first game of the season, which was also their first win of the year, in overtime.
