At least three illegal things happened in one wild inbounds play with 13.5 seconds left that may come to define a series that saw Oklahoma City snatch home court from San Antonio.
– First, Manu Ginobili’s foot was over the line while defending the pass. Violation.
– Second, Dion Waiters reached over the line to elbow Ginobili out of the way in order to make the pass. Violation.
– Third, Waiters jumped to release the pass. Violation.
So who was wronged the most?
Afterward, referee Ken Mauer was forced to explain that officials missed the call on Waiters elbow-push.
