Should that have counted? Ronnie Nunn explains what happened in this critical play and if the referees made the right decision.

Also discussed in this episode: Timofey Mozgov trying to use "verticality" similar to Roy Hibbert but still being called for a personal foul, should some extensive pivoting been called a travel against Luis Scola, whether Rudy Gay was out of bounds in a big possession in overtime when the Toronto Raptors hosted the Portland Trail Blazers, and the ejection of Serge Ibaka during his altercation with Los Angeles Clippers' forward Matt Barnes.
