A call needed to be made there, one way or another, and it doesn’t matter what it was. What it isn’t, is a no-call.
It is gratifying to know that Golden State Warriors fans have spent precious little time whingeing pathetically about the walking call Monty McCutchen didn’t make on Russell Westbrook in the expiring seconds of Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.
It is a sign that, while they can whine about Scott Foster in Game 3 of the Portland series all day long, they can still recognize a well-earned defeat when they see one.
