The odd play caused confusion from the Mavericks' bench on Wednesday night, but Vince Carter poked holes in Dallas' claim that they believed the ball was theirs after a timeout.
"Even if you walk into the timeout thinking it’s your ball, you draw up a play for your team to take the ball out thinking it’s your ball," Carter said Thursday during an appearance on ESPN.
"If you notice, when the team walked back on the court, the ball was out in front of the Golden State Warriors’ bench. Not one player is there to take the ball out even if you think it’s your ball as a Dallas Maverick. The confusion could have been handled if your player’s down there taking the ball out, and he’s like, ‘Wait, it’s our ball. You said it’s our ball.
The issue is not where the inbounds pass was coming from. But if the Mavericks did indeed think they had possession of the ball, it is unclear why nobody in a Mavericks uniform was on the baseline to receive the ball from the referee.
