L2M: No Giannis foul on McCollum
Portland Trail Blazers guards C.J. McCollum and Damian Lillard didn't seem happy about a reach-in by Giannis Antetokounmpo on McCollum in the final seconds of the Bucks' win over the Blazers Saturday, but the NBA says no foul.
The league's Last Two Minute Report released Sunday said that Antetokounmpo's contact to McCollum's body didn't affect his speed, quickness, balance, or rhythm, and is considered incidental.
The interference helped force a McCollum turnover, which Malcolm Brogdon fired back to Antetokounmpo for the go-ahead dunk with 11.4 seconds remaining. The bucket gave the "Greek Freak" a new career high with a 44-point night.

Lillard sarcastically tweeted "great defense" with an image of Antetokounmpo's arms draping McCollum.
