“That play came with both teams tied at 102-all with 32 seconds left in regulation, and had the refs called the foul, it would have been Boston’s ball with about 20 seconds remaining; instead, it gave LA a 104-102 edge with 18.1 seconds left. “This one is another of those travels that he has gotten away with as one can see here in this four-second video clip
