Earlier this week Carmelo Anthony complained about not getting calls from the officials. The NBA validated part of his claim Friday.
The league admitted that referees missed a crucial foul against the Knicks star, a miss that could have cost his team a victory.

Upon review, the NBA determined that Anthony was fouled before he attempted a potential game-winning shot in the Knicks' 99-97 loss to the Kings on Thursday night.
Rajon Rondo grabbed Anthony's arm with 2.9 seconds remaining. With the Knicks in the bonus, Anthony would have been awarded two free throws.
