Gasol missed the shot and tumbled to the floor, but no foul was called. Golden State led 106-103 at the time. The Warriors wound up prevailing 106-105, staving off elimination and sending the series back to Oracle Arena for Game 6 on Thursday night. The NBA said Cousins moved into Gasol, “initiating contact that affects his driving shot attempt.”
