Cavs got royally screwed and reversing the call on the charge was complete bs!
ALSO: The NBA says that the refs missed a lane violation by Green on Hill’s second free throw with 4 seconds left in regulation! Hill should have been awarded a second chance at the second free throw!!
The refs *ucked up one of the greatest games ever!
Some of those refs called a terrible game in their previous outing as well. I thought they did a poor job, and that’s being kind!!!!
And yet, the ball bounces to Cleveland with 4.7 seconds left and a excellent chance to win.. is JR a weed enthusiast? Plenty of time to check the score while free throws are being shot. That’s what makes this gaffe so bad.
If you watch a replay the video you will notice the Baseline official called a charge while the official near the top of the key called a block. That is the reason the play was reviewed.
The video at the bottom of this ESPN Story clearly shows two things, it shows the backside official calling the block and clearly shows LeBron was still sliding and moving into the path of Durant after Durant had left his feet.
If I was a Cleveland Fan I would be more upset about JR Smith’s boneheaded decision not to put the ball back up and instead, dribbling out top after his offensive Rebound with 4.7 seconds left.
My wife, after watching, was convinced that the “fix” was in place.
