Dallas Mavericks fans weren’t happy with the officiating at the end of game 2 of the NBA Finals.
On Sunday night, the Mavs fell to 0-2, and the game’s biggest play came with 50 seconds left to go in the fourth quarter.
Watch as Mavs’ PJ Washington attempts to score on two Celtics players while down 98-102 before getting “blocked.”

Fans believed that Washington got pushed in the back on the play by Celtics’ Jaylen Brown.

Mavs fans also thought Derrick Whyte fouled Washington on the play by hitting his arm.

Even ESPN’s Mike Breen felt like the refs missed a big call.
“Not only was it a great block, there should’ve been a foul call. Jaylen Brown with a shove in the back on this PJ Washington play. Both guys blocked it, but that should’ve been a foul call.”
