The ref on the play (Bavetta, I think) passed on it. SA wins. Bavetta also passed on one in the third quarter that should have been called on Ginobilli, who totally wiped out Bonzi Wells after passing into the corner for another Barry 3. All I could say was, "Wow!!"

I agree:
Wow!! Go SPURS!!!!
I missed all of the first game due to assignments/classes at basketball camp - but no regrets: my own games/camp beats NBA anyday. I missed almost half of the game and don't recall seeing Duncan's screen, but the pass-and-crash by Ginobilli was pretty obvious; o.w. the foul calls seemed tight, probably in response to the elbows exchanged in the first game.
Ginobilli's pass was nice and the crash was not obviously an offensive foul to the fans [yea, I know, that means NOTHING... you could see fans on the front row raising their arms like "where's the call" - meaning 'call something on Bonzi'), so maybe that gives the play an 'entertainment pass'? The calls seemed to be going both ways, so I'm sure there were no-calls that went both ways - maybe you are a Sacramento fan/Spurs adversary and recall those no-calls more vividly? The Spurs are living, and in danger of dying, by the 3-point shot this series. I like it better when their games produce winning scores in the 80s.
