The Christmas match up between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors lived up to the hype, as it went down to the last second once again. Although there was some questions on was there missed calls throughout the game.
One was Lebron hanging on the rim after a thunderous dunk as the Cavs stormed back, and with the Cavs up one it was questions whether or not did Durant get fouled by Richard Jefferson as their feet got tangled up on the last shot.
The NBA came out with last two-minute report saying that the referees missed both calls and should had call a technical foul on Lebron and it should have ben a foul called on Jefferson for tripping Durant on the last shot. Durant gave his thoughts on the reports and was surprisingly on the refs side by stating that the refs didn’t lose the game him and the team did.

Maybe Durant was on the Refs side so next time they will be more on his side when it comes down to critical situations. Either way Durant thinks its Bullshi*t that the NBA is throwing the refs under the bus, and it could play out to be a smart move for sticking up for the refs as him and his team move forward.
