Contrary to earlier thinking, it wasn't a shot clock official who triggered the clock early in the last second of Spurs-Clippers game 7, thereby necessitating a reset and giving away the spurs' final play, which could not be altered the second time around. It was referee Monty McCutchen. McCutchen also called the foul on Duncan in final minute that gave CP3 2 FTs.
We can talk about the spurs not putting themselves in a position to win the game. That's one thing. But they were in it right until the final play. It's fair to say McCutchen's calls in the final minute essentially sealed the game in the Clippers' favor, and this was a particularly egregious mistake for him to make in a crucial moment.
