Examples:

  • The article gives credit to Doncic for making the shot and mentions Gobert's overreaction as a reason for the play's outcome, but it doesn't mention that Doncic only scored 13 points in the first three quarters and had struggled before making the game-winning shot.
  • The article implies that Doncic obviously made the shot, when in reality, he had struggled prior to this moment.
  • The article mentions Gobert has been in a number of isolation situations with James Harden, which may mislead readers to think that Gobert should have known how to defend against Doncic better.
