The officials changed a key call late in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers that helped out the home team.
Kevin Durant was driving to the basket with his team down 104-102 and 36.4 seconds left. As he elevated for a shot attempt, LeBron James slid in front of him to take a charge. The referees initially called it an offensive foul on Durant, but they reviewed it.

After a review, the officials change their call to a blocking foul on LeBron. Durant then made both of his free throws to tie the game.
Instead of the Cavs having the ball up two, the Warriors were able to tie things. It was a huge reversal that heavily impacted the game.
