Game 1 between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Clippers had a lot of memorable moments. From dramatic plays to lead changes, it had it all.
Unfortunately, the game also featured several questionable calls by the officiating crew. Referees leaving a heavy mark on games has become something of an issue inside the NBA Bubble. Monday night, they may have changed the outcome of a playoff game.
Early on, they hit Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis with a technical for making an excited gesture after they wrongly called him for a foul on what replays would show was a clean block attempt against Paul George.
