From the NBA its own self...
Joel Litvin, NBA President, League and Basketball Operations, issued the following statement regarding the final seconds of the Oklahoma City Thunder at Utah Jazz game last night at EnergySolutions Arena:
"On the final play of last night’s Oklahoma City-Utah game, the officials missed a foul committed by the Jazz’s C.J. Miles on the Thunder’s Kevin Durant during a three-point shot attempt.”
The background: Mike Baldwin of Newsok.com lays it all out for you...
Referee Tony Brothers’ non-call at the end of the Thunder’s 140-139 overtime loss to the Utah Jazz cost Oklahoma City more than one game. It cost the Thunder a shot at winning the Northwest Division title and a shot at winning the tiebreaker over Denver.
“The referee didn’t call a foul,” Thunder Head Coach Scott Brooks said. “You have to go with him. He had a better look than I had. Sometimes you get those. Sometimes you don’t. We had a good opportunity to win the game. We didn’t get a stop. That’s the bottom line.”
