Lets be honest, nobody likes referees. As fans, we perpetually claim that they’re conspiring to nether our team’s odds at winning. So, when our team gains an advantage based on a referee’s decision, it’s always an awkward position to be in. The National Basketball Association admitted that officials missed two (unrelated, but both crucial) calls at the end of the Memphis Grizzlies’ 108-107 win over the Denver Nuggets Tuesday night.
The first missed call came with about 10 seconds to go when Nuggets guard Gary Harris stripped the ball away from Mike Conley, leading to an easy bucket and a one-point Denver lead.
