Front Office Sports reports that referee criticism is sliding from performance review into personal attacks—an issue the NBA keeps confronting as transparency tools meet social media outrage.

A flashpoint cited in coverage is a Last Two Minute Report tied to a Nuggets–Rockets ending, adding fresh oxygen to the debate about accountability versus harassment in NBA discourse.

– NBA (Official L2M Report page): “Last Two Minute Report…”
– Houston Chronicle (News outlet): “Last Two Minute Report says errors… benefited Nuggets…”

Analysis/Echotitbits take: The NBA’s transparency era is a double-edged sword: more data to explain calls, but also more receipts for online mobs. Watch for league messaging and platform measures aimed at protecting officials—without looking like the NBA is avoiding legit scrutiny.
