In Game 4 of the NBA Finals, a controversial call against Stephon Castle could have shifted the game's outcome. With just over a minute remaining, Castle was ruled out of bounds, a decision criticized as incorrect after Josh Hart impeded his path. Had the call been correct, Castle would have had a chance to score from the free-throw line, potentially giving the Spurs a lead. The Knicks also faced a missed call with a defensive three-second violation by Victor Wembanyama prior to the Castle call. This highlights the impact of referee decisions in a tightly contested series, focusing attention on officiating as Game 5 approaches.
