Whatcha got?

I see what you're saying, but one thing I wonder, why he didn't do the score the basket "chop" when he called the foul? That would have cleared up it was a defensive foul for me at first, but he just held his fist up and then went off to report. If I were observing, I'd be puzzled till his report what it was.

Yep, and this fact probably helped wipe out a taunting T, as alluded to earlier. First inclination was to roast L for not closing down and seeing the in-your-face (albeit quick) move of A2. But then again, he had to study his partner who wasn't telling secrets (throughout the whole clip).
