Van Gundy did get a T, but it wasn't in the first three minutes and it wasn't from Ms. Palmer. Houston was called for a defensive 3-second violation by one of the male officials; I believe it was Robbie Robinson. Van Gundy argued loudly that the ball had to be in the frontcourt for 3 seconds to make the call, and the ball had only been in the frontcourt for about half a second when the violation was called. I like the fact that Van Gundy actually knew the rule and that he then got T'd up for being obnoxious anyway.

1. That is correct. She did a fantastic job. I enjoyed watching her. They also had a moment of discussion in this early time regarding if Houston or the Celtics had posession when the Celtics grabbed a loose ball and chunked it down court and ultimately OOB on the celtics. Another good call.

2. I didnt know who actually gave it or why, I was reviewing previous footage at the time and when I went back to live they were shooting for the "T". I didnt get a chance to back up & see why. Thanks, for the follow up.
