DALLAS -- The NBA says officials were wrong when they didn't call an intentional foul on the Dallas Mavericks just before Denver's Carmelo Anthony made a game-winning 3-pointer.

The Mavericks had the lead and a foul to give Saturday when Denver inbounded the ball trailing by two points with less than 8 seconds left. Antoine Wright was clearly trying to foul Anthony, and bumped him twice.
But the whistle never blew and Anthony swished a 3-pointer from the corner with a second left that gave the Nuggets a 106-105 victory and a 3-0 series lead.
In a statement released after the game, Joel Litvin, NBA president for league and basketball operations, said "the officials missed an intentional foul" committed by Wright on Anthony.

So the Mavs are upset because rather than a 4-0 series, they'd get trashed in a 5 game sweep without that shot?
Yeah, same release was given last year after Fisher tackled Barry.
Which resulted in another championship!
Five rings, maggots!!!!
suck on this you little gots that were trying to justify that we just simply "choked." the nba is a mother ing joke of a league
They should go back and reply the play just like they should have last years Spurs/Lakers non call bull thing. These kinds of horrible missed calls just kill the game.
dude, this game changes everything. with this win, we could easily tie it up 2-2 and have a series on our hands.
How do you know?
The dynamics of 2-1 differ greatly from 3-0.
join the club.
you guys lost game 3 fair and square.
Barry play last year, game 4.
Obviously he fouled him (Wright) but a few questions.
1. Why did he put his hands up like he was trying to avoid contact after he fouled Melo?
2. And why didn't he just wrap him up?
He didn't want to get hit with a shooting foul.
Game 4 of last year's WCF, not this year's SA-Dallas series...
Good point. Didn't really think of that.
Even if the refs had called the foul, it doesn't mean the Nuggets wouldn't win... If Dirk had time to try another shot, Melo or JR could have made that shot with less time... Just saying...
Besides, Wright knew what cons uted a foul in that situation. He didn't need to hammer the guy. He did what was pretty stock in that situation and the NBA obviously ed it up.
Welcome to the tough road of winning a Championship. The road to the Championships continues to be a a matter of talent, toughness, health, experience, and lots of luck with the refs calls.
To be honest. That was kind of a weak foul attempt. That was really nothing more than a reach in.
Yeah, but we'll never know. That call could have been the proverbial moth's wings in China and could have ultimately lead to world peace after a chain of events. Thanks, NBA.
Well, how much time would've been left if the refs did make the right call? 2-3 seconds?
I'd say the odds at that point would've been fairly low for the Nugs to WIN the game... they could sent it to OT I guess. Not impossible, but low odds.
We'll never know.
Oh well
that's true, but just as the non-call is inexcusable, so is Wright not playing to the whistle.
WERD...we should just go ahead and claim that 5thfor the Spurs.
San Antonio Spurs = 2008 NBA Champions
Somebody needs to make a Where Amazing happens commercial with Wright looking for the call and the reaction of the Dallas bench after Melo nails that shot.
the amazing happens commercial... wow... that was fast!!
