"The NBA announced Tuesday that Kevin Durant's basket with six seconds remaining in regulation Monday at Portland should not have counted. Durant was awarded two points when an official ruled that a blocked shot by LaMarcus Aldridge was goaltending.

"With the benefit of slow motion replay following the game, it has been determined that Aldridge made contact with the ball just before the ball hit the backboard," the statement read. "Therefore, this should have been ruled a good block and goaltending was the incorrect call."

The statement went on to clarify that referees are prohibited from using instant replay on goaltending calls, as determined by the NBA's Competition Committee."
