By the end of Wednesday night's rollicking Warriors-Mavericks game, the Mavs reached a conclusion: The refs were paid off.
Doncic will surely be fined for one of the most brazen complaints about officiating you'll see. But that was overshadowed by a far stranger play late in the third quarter that ended up providing the margin in a two-point Warriors win. Coming out of a timeout, the Mavericks lined up on the wrong side of the court, and Jordan Poole inbounded to Kevon Looney for an uncontested dunk, certainly the easiest basket of this season and maybe of any.
Dallas was furious after the game, claiming that the officials told them it was their ball and then reversed the call without informing them. But even that excuse only half adds up. Why would the Mavs be inbounding from that end when the ball went out of bounds under their basket?an official signal that it was Warriors ball before signaling for the Mavs' timeout. That's what the officials said happened as well.
