Bucks coach Joe Prunty was still upset a day after the whistle didn't blow on Al Horford

Bucks coach Joe Prunty was not pleased with a missed shot-clock violation in Game 5 on Tuesday.

To the surprise of probably no one, the NBA on Wednesday released its Last Two Minute Report on the Milwaukee Bucks' 92-87 loss in Game 5 and said the Boston Celtics committed a shot-clock violation 1 minute 19 seconds remaining in the game.

Not that the clarification is any solace to Bucks coach Joe Prunty.

The play unfolded right in front of him, with Al Horford's attempt clearly coming after the shot-clock expired.

The Bucks players were waiting for a whistle that never came from the referees, and the Celtics were able to corral the offensive rebound and burn off about 20 more seconds while clinging to an 84-79 lead.

"Last night, we talked about in the postgame, my comment (to the referees) was 'It's a shot-clock violation,' " Prunty said. "The first comment was 'We can't review it.' I didn't say 'Can we review it?' I said 'It's a shot-clock violation. Whatever we need to do can we do that?'

"They didn't call it, so it wasn't a shot-clock violation."

Referee Ken Mauer told a pool reporter after the game "the rule states that under two minutes we are not allowed to review a potential 24-second violation unless the ball goes in the basket."

Again, that did nothing to ease Prunty's mind.

"We wanted to get a stop," he said. "That is a huge stop to get in Game 5 of a playoff series where both teams are putting everything on the line. That's a tough time to have a missed call.

"I know, for me, I had a great view of it, so what I thought was a shot-clock violation was not called. So is there a level of frustration? Yes."

Prunty did not stop there.

"If I am worried about anything, I'm just looking at the numbers here, the analytics stuff," he said. "We've been called for 30 more fouls and they've shot 30 more free throws. 

"That's what I want to get right. We can't go back."

Prunty then jokingly asked if any of the assembled reporters were able to go back in time.

"It is what it is," Prunty said. "We are where we are now. We're down, 3-2. Gotta come out and be ready to play. 

"Be focused. Attack. Be aggressive and control what we can control."

No update on Henson: Prunty did not have any news on the status of Bucks center John Henson, who missed the last three games in the series with back soreness. 

"I'll get more from the medical staff (Wednesday) afternoon," Prunty said. "But even then, I'm sure it will be more as we go into (Thursday) and before the game we'll have a better idea. But, in all honesty, don't really know at this point."
