That was not a foul on Giannis. Nice job refs. Almost as bad as the Ball phantom call in Charlotte that won the game.
Watch the play again. Whistle blew like 2 full seconds after the ball was released. Pathetic. My guess was the refs didn’t think Halliburton had any chance of making it so why not blow the whistle?
For all the talk about the league clamping down on players initiating contact or looking for fouls on shots here’s one that cost them the game. That’s the third game this season the officials fucked them over at the very end resulting in two losses. The Detroit game very well could have been a loss as well.
