NEW YORK -- For the second consecutive WNBA Finals game, the league acknowledged a late officiating mistake.The WNBA said the officials missed a shot clock violation in the deciding Game 5 Thursday night in which the Los Angeles Sparks beat the Minnesota Lynx 77-76.After reviewing postgame video, we have determined that Nneka Ogwumikes shot with 1:14 remaining in regulation time should not have counted due to a shot-clock violation, and that the referees improperly failed to review the play under the instant replay rules, Renee Brown, WNBA chief of basketball operations and player relations, said in a statement Friday.Ogwumikes jumper with 3.1 seconds left, off the rebound of her blocked shot, won it for the Sparks.The league also admitted a mistake after officials missed an 8-second violation call in Game 4 that occurred late in that contest.Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve was angry in her postgame news conference Thursday night about both missed calls, saying the league needed to do more than just apologize and send a memo.Its really unfortunate that players continually put themselves out there, playing and competing at a really high level. Whether it was the 8-second call in LA or the game today, doesnt matter, OK? The game today, its not fair to the players, Reeve said. Its not enough just to apologize or send out a memo that they got something wrong, OK? These players are so invested and something must be done about the officiating in this league because its not fair to these great players we have.WNBA rules state that in the final two minutes of a game plays are reviewable only immediately. Earlier in the game, time can elapse and plays can still be reviewed. In college basketball, officials are given more time to review calls in the final two minutes.It was reviewable at the time when she shot it, Reeve said. The referees at that point didnt think anything was wrong. They didnt understand it was the end of the clock. They didnt hear the shot clock. When they put the ball in play, the play is no longer reviewable.Arenas switched shot clocks midseason and there were some issues when they were changed about how audible the horn was when it reached zero.This wasnt the first year officiating mistakes happened in playoff games. Last season, in the Western Conference finals, the Lynx were aided by a foul with 1.5 seconds left in a tie game against Phoenix. The league acknowledged the call should never have been made.Its unfortunate were having this discussion, Reeve said. The number of people that have contacted us and said this shot was no good, its unfortunate. I mean, I dont know what happens from there. Maybe they still win. I dont know. Thats why I dont want to take anything away from L.A.Lynx star Maya Moore didnt realize the controversy until asked about it in a sullen losing locker room.OK, that doesnt make me feel any better, Moore said.She said she thought she saw one of the officials signal for a review and was surprised to hear that didnt occur, the details of the final minutes lost in the haze of defeat.Well, it doesnt mean anything now, Moore said.Josh Allen Jaguars Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons.

Fer connected with a Marco van Ginkel corner just minutes after he missed a glorious opportunity to give the Netherlands a 3-2 advantage that would hold until the final whistle. The Dutch went up 2-0 before the first half was even done, thanks to some fancy footwork from Adam Maher in the 24th minute and a blast from Georginio Wijnaldum that German keeper Bernd Leno just couldnt get enough of to keep out. However, fortunes would turn Germanys way in the opening minutes of the second half. Sebastian Rudy caught Dutch keeper Jeroen Zoet guessing the wrong way on a 47th-minute penalty.

Spain had been stymied by Russias defence as well as an inability to finish their own chances before Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata found the net in the 82nd minute. Having come on as a substitute in the 63rd, Morata flicked a header past Russian keeper Nikolai Zabolotini off a curling free kick from Thiago Alcantara. Manchester United keeper David de Gea had an easy day in the Spanish net as Russias lone attempt at the goal for the match was off target. ' ' '
