May then stepped slightly back and to the side causing Powell to slighly lose his balance and fall away from the basket about 2 - 3 steps leaving May a clear shot at the rebound by stepping in and taking the place that Powell had vacated. I don't think it was the best foul call in the game, but at full speed I would have called it too, I think.

My view was the May got in a very early shove that sent Powell deep under the basket. Powell tried to recover from the push by backing out again when he stumbled. At first, I didn't see it...but on replay it became clear why they called the foul.
