“Refs called offensive goaltending on AD, bullshit flagrant on DLo, No foul call over and over again on Bron, call defensive goal tending on AD, Jokic apparently can play D without ever fouling. Lakers could’ve played better yes, but can’t do anything when the refs selling,” a Twitter user said.

“I feel like goaltending should be reviewable at a dead ball like checking if something was a three or not is,” another one added.

“I think the “good goaltending” there just meant it occurred prior to the end of the quarter. Jeff Van Gundy was correct that the goaltend itself is not reviewable when the referees go to the monitor for a timing issue,” a third one tweeted.
