If there's a positive regarding the NBA's Last Two Minute Reports that many people seem to hate, it's that obvious uncalled infractions are paraded publicly for the mistakes they are.

Monday's report conceded that Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns threw an illegal screen on Paul George just before Andrew Wiggins buried the Oklahoma City Thunder with a game-winning three.

That's not all, however. The report also points out that Wolves coach Tom Thibodeau was physically signaling for a timeout his team didn't have immediately after the Carmelo Anthony basket that set up Wiggins' winner.

Thibodeau was behind the official and was not noticed. Had he been, it would have been a technical foul on Minnesota.
