The NBA settles the controversy over the 5th game between the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers

The NBA supported the referee's decision not to call a foul on Ausar Thompson on the last play of regulation time in the fifth game between the Cavaliers and the Pistons, despite Detroit's protests, considering that both Thompson and Jarrett Allen legally went for a ball without clear possession and that the contact was marginal, in a crucial play before Cleveland's 117-113 overtime victory to take a 3-2 lead in the series.
