NBA has issued a statement that it should have been a foul, accoding to the local fishwrap.

With 4.9 seconds remaining in the Atlanta Hawks' 96-92 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on March 13, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant attempted a jump shot over the Hawks' Dahntay Jones. After review at the league office, video replay confirmed that referees missed a foul call on Jones as he challenged Bryant's shot and did not give him the opportunity to land cleanly back on the floor. Bryant should have been granted two free throws.

Seems like more and more the leagues (NFL, NBA, NCAA) are reviewing film and commenting publically on what should/shouldn't be called.........

The NBA, this season, has commented five times on missed calls in late game situations this year. I see no issue with it. Calls get missed...I think it's smart to acknowledge when they do.

And he still would have sprained his ankle even if the foul had been called.

L clapping hands?
During this play, the L claps his hands several times loudly. Is he trying to let the C know that he's rotated? I can't figure out what else this might be.

A great mechanic given that the C is looking toward the DL (and away from the L's new location) for the matchup right in front of him.
