OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) _ The NBA says Toronto's Marc Gasol should have been given two free throws with 49 seconds left of Game 5 of the NBA Finals in Toronto, a game that the Raptors lost to Golden State by one point. Gasol was fouled by the Warriors' DeMarcus Cousins on a drive. The acknowledgment came in the league’s Last Two Minute Report that was issued Tuesday.

VISTA, Calif. (AP) — A California judge declared a mistrial Tuesday on the remaining charges against former NFL player Kellen Winslow Jr. after a jury convicted him of raping a 58-year-old homeless woman but could not break a deadlock over two other counts of rape. Prosecutors did not immediately say whether they would retry the eight undecided charges. Winslow currently faces up to nine years in prison and must register as a sex offender. Winslow's attorneys say they plan to appeal.
