The most notable play of Game 3 – and possibly of this year’s NBA Finals series — occurred when a razor-close block/charge 50/50 call went against the Dallas Mavericks and Luka Donu010diu0107.
The play occurred with 4:12 remaining in a game the Mavs trailed, 93-90. Donu010diu0107 was charged with a blocking foul, which was his sixth foul of the game.
Coach Jason Kidd challenged the call, lost the challenge, and the Mavs ultimately lost the game, 106-99.
Yes, the Mavs realistically still had a chance to win Game 3 after Donu010diu0107 fouled out.
