Also at issue is not just on its downward flight, but did the ball hit the backboard first. I think that is a question. Honestly, I would like an answer from the calling official what exactly was his reasoning for the call so that would tell if he felt the ball hit the backboard or not first. That is the part I was focused on mostly, but there is a case to be made this was going downward as well.

I thought the shot got tipped, then pinned against the backboard by the secondary defender, prior to the ball hitting the backboard.
