As you know by now, the NBA admitted that James Harden’s game winner in game three shouldn’t have counted. However, it couldn’t be overturned.
Nonetheless, I think it’s pretty cool how the NBA holds their referees accountable.
Last night, the Cavs completed the sweep in Detroit, but on the last possession, Reggie Jackson felt he was fouled by Kyrie Irving.
The NBA’s report indicates that the officials made the right decision to not blow the whistle on Irving’s tough defense, and in fact notes that it was Jackson who initiated the contact. Jackson after the game called on the league for much more accountability when it comes to officials
It’s hard to disagree with the NBA here.
Reggie was out of control and with time running down, he was clearly looking for a bail out.
You be the judge:
