Yes, in replay it was probably a block, but it was close enough that people are going to argue both sides of it. The foul call on Carter-Williams when it appeared Hardaway pushed off was a bigger one to discuss. In hindsight, I would bet the trail wished he was a step deeper to get a better look at it.

As far as the held ball goes, it was consistent with the rest of the game.

I've been on Twitter most of the night. Trust me; they already have the message out that the refs screwed up both games.
