All pregame long we heard that Joey Crawford reffing this game shouldn't be an issue. Greg Popovich said it, Charles Barkley said it, Kenny Smith said it, and Marv and Doug both said it. Well guess what....it was. ...

Lakers Take 3-1 Series Lead on the Spurs, and There Was No Foul on That Last Play

Filed under: Lakers, Spurs, NBA Gossip, NBA Playoffs, NBA Videos, Breaking News The Lakers effectively ended the Spurs' championship reign by taking a three games to one series lead with a 93-91 victory in Game 4 in San Antonio.

I suppose that explains the great deal of discussion surrounding the way the Lakers/Spurs game ended last night. Did Derek Fisher foul Brent Barry? What call would you have made in that situation?
