Actually, I was going to post something on this earlier, but since you brought it up...
I thought that this was one of the best officiating decisions I have ever seen. The secondary defender came over and hit both the ball and Bynum's hand while it was on the ball. According to the rules that is not a foul. The replay of this was fantasic. A good close-up in slow motion.
The official was patient and calm. He did not react to immediate contact and waited for the play to finish.
It is true that Bynum was strong enough to fight through this and still score. Great play by him. However, even if he does not score, I do not believe that a foul should have been called.
