GAME 60: DAL (35-25) vs. UTA (37-22)| 109-114 loss

[SleepingHero]

Can't blame the refs every game. Luka was playing hero ball down the stretch and the fact he doesn't have a clear number two scorer won't bode well for them when Luka has a bad game. You don't need a big three, but definitely need a big two.

I don't blame the refs every game. It was obvious that they had a significant impact on this one. Called Luka for ticky tack fouls but let O'Neal and Gobert get away with plenty of contact the whole game.

Gobert reaching in on a drive is called 99%. The contact was there but the refs arbitrarily chose when to call it. The 22-8 FT disparity is the clearest example of that. 

Of course the Mavs still had chances to put it away, and Luka didn't hit his threes when he went hero ball. But it shouldn't have gotten to that point had the refs called it fair.
