Karl Malone has been very upset about this game and was checking for the last two minute report to see if the NBA would admit to any poor refereeing in the final two minutes of the game. But apparently the Jazz Cavs game didn't apply to the standard rules for a Final Two Minute Report because the game wasn't within 5 points with two minutes to go. This is bull crap Karl Malone says though, because at 1:56 left in the game the Jazz were down 4. This is a little ridiculous because their were questionable calls that Karl Malone wanted the NBA to address.
1) At 1:08 left in the game Favors makes a lay up and is clearly fouled by Tristan Thompson with a arm in the face. Obvious foul. This lay up put the Jazz within 2, but with a free throw the Jazz had a 50/50 chance of being within one point.
2) At 49.5 left in the game LeBron James makes a lay up, but clearly takes three steps after picking up his dribble before shooting. Obviously should have been a turn over and the Jazz would have had a chance to be down by 1 with the ball (assuming Favors made the last free throw he wasn't granted because of the non-call, but still only down two if he had missed the free throw from the non call).
Karl Malone know this seems lame, but Karl Malone knows rules are important and if these two plays are called correctly this is a different game. Karl Malone wishes he knew what the NBA thought of these plays, but Karl Malone will never know.
