If the entire game had been reviewed, the Thunder would have not needed the O.T. for the win. Refs missed foul calls all night against KD and Westbrook. Thunder would have WON the game in regulation given the opportunity to make their free throws.

Sounds like the video got the Zapruder treatment.

If something were to be researched, I’d prefer it to be a mysterious illness. I’m concerned that several of the Trail Blazers are afflicted with a disease that causes them to suddenly backpedal and fall to the floor upon the slightest bit of contact.

It appears to be more prevalent these days. No so long ago, this illness only seemed to affect players of European and South American descent, as well as point guards with the initials CP.

Unless they have a camera angle that we did not get to see, I do not know how they can say without a doubt one way or the other. If this was the NFL you would say the play stands as calls because it was definitely inconclusive.
