Game film and media coverage are different.

Many outlets have a "dumb play of the week" or "you wouldn't believe it", etc.

If the NBA didn't know about it until a fan mentioned it, it's easy to see that the media wouldn't know about it either.

Now if it was called, the announcers would have been "what?????" and replay would have shown what happened.

Then other sports outlets, like PTI, SportsCentre, or even other NBA broadcasts would have picked it up.

And guess what they would have shown?..... Game film.
