In the point-to-point final between the 76ers and Clippers, Leonard and his teammates prevailed, but not without controversy. The missed whistle on Oubre has in fact sparked the controversy of the 76ers, with Kelly Oubre e Nurse protagonists.
The 76ers coach, after the siren, rushed onto the field to contest the missed call and was held back by his assistants. Oubre, following his coach’s example, also pointed the finger at each of the three referees (Kevin Scott, JB DeRosa, Brandon Adair), before also being removed.
Shortly after the end of the match, Kevin Scott he admitted in the final report that he should have called a foul on Kelly Oubre Jr.’s drive on the final play of the game.
During the last action on the field, at the time of the event, the referees interpreted that play as if the defender jumped vertically. However, during the post-match video review, we noticed a slight shift to the left by the defender [Paul] George, who should have been penalized with a foul

Coach Nick Nurse also spoke out in post-match interviews about the episode and the different refereeing treatment received by the two teams:
I watched it a couple of times on our computers. I thought there was certainly contact, certainly as much as the last two or three that were called and-1s on the other end

The other protagonist, Kelly Oubrein the post-game he wanted to apologize for his reaction, which will certainly be sanctioned by the NBA:
First of all, it was a tense moment. This is an intense basketball game, obviously. We are not perfect. Referees are not perfect. I want to apologize for losing my temper, because it’s something I try to work on every day, and I try to represent God as best as I can, and that wasn’t the right thing. So I simply ask for forgiveness
