Dallas v. Portland-NBA

[APG]

Anyone catch the Dallas Mavericks vs. Portland Trailblazers game...specifically the last half of the 4th quarter? Talk about a hostile environment!

Officials: #41 Ken Mauer, #60 David Guthrie, #65 Sean Wright

Busy ending for the crew. From about the 4:18 mark in the 4th a sequence of plays went as follows:

1. Andre Miller makes a tough lay-up to bring the game within one...Andre Miller thinking he was fouled, subsequently gets a T. Smart!

2. Next trip up the court for Portland, a close out of bounds call goes against Portland. Nate McMillan subsequently gets a T. Three point game is now a four point game. Got to love the well timed technical here!

3. About a minute later, Portland commits an absolutely silly foul which brings a mandatory timeout. Come back from the break and we see the officials have ejected two fans from the game! Very rare event at the pro level, so they had to have done something real bad.

4. Right on cue 20,683 fans start chanting "These refs suck," and some objects are thrown on the court.
