The Los Angeles Lakers beat the T-Wolves by THREE points a couple of nights ago. Ricky Rubio was shooting a three-pointer as the game clock ran out. Everyone thought he should have been given three free throws when Kobe fouled him at the end.
That didn't happen and the Wolves ended up with the loss.
Why am I reporting on this now? Because it demonstrated once more how REFS in the NBA determine who wins close games more than players. The odd thing? The NBA looked at game footage yesterday and officially apologized to the Wolves and their fans. They admitted that the refs blew the call. This won't change the outcome of the game, but at least they admitted the refs blew it.
Normally I'd be more upset than this, but the Wolves aren't going anywhere this season anyway.
AND Ricky would have been shooting the free throws.
Ricky hasn't made three free throws in a row all season. With the game on the line, I don't see where that would have changed.
Upon further review, the refs blew the call, but in all likelihood they did not cost us the game.
