Referee Joey Crawford gets revenge against Spurs
tireball.com 5/28/2008 — Brent Barry scored 23 of the San Antonio Spurs 81 points but it missed a critical three pointer at the end of the fourth quarter a mist being fouled by Derrick Fisher. Referee Joey Crawford ruled it was a no call.
The result was the Spurs dropping a crucial game 4 to the Los Angeles Lakers and the no call on the foul will undoubtedly lead to speculation that Crawford was seeking revenge ...
The Fisher Incident
touts.wordpress.com 5/29/2008 — Do I think that Derek Fisher fouled Brent Barry at the end of last nights’ 93-91 Lakers’ victory?
Yeah, probably.
I’m not sure what all the ruckus is about though, NBA fans should have known that there wasn’t going to be a foul called, no matter how bad Fisher bumped into Barry at the end of the game.

The Big Lead
Yes, D Fish fouled Brent Barry with less than two seconds remaining. No question. But as Barry, Pop, Fisher and Kobe said - you can’t call that . Go ahead and conjure up some Joey Crawford conspiracy , or talk about how uneven the game was refereed - the Spurs went to the line 26 times in the first three quarters, and then zero in the fourth; Kobe ( 28 points ) didn’t attempt one ...
