The NBA did manage to find two other situations in the last two minutes where the Mavs got screwed:

The "kicked ball" is up for debate. On the one hand I believe Russell intentionally put his foot there and caused the kick, but I can see the argument behind Luka accidentally dribbling it off of his foot.
But even still I don't see how the refs miss the free throw pump fake which should've awarded Dallas possession and ended the game right there, or the blatant hook on Maxi for the dunk, which again would've most likely iced it.
This report also doesn't even mention the refs staring at KAT out of bounds but letting it play on...
Minny got so many favorable calls. I'm glad the Mavs were able to overcome it.
