Approx 3:10 remaining in the 3rd.

Thank you.

Looked like a good call to me. Defender was there. The announcer's comment was that the defender was still moving. Since Davis wasn't airborne, he can be moving as long as he gets to the spot first.

Block...never got into the path and was moving towards the opponent at the time of contact.

I have a block too - he never stops moving left and into the dribbler. I see no LGP here ever.

Throw in another vote for "block"

At 0:16 into the video, LGP is established:

1) both feet touching the playing court

2) front of torso facing the opponent


I don't think it's "definitely a block" as some have said. In the moment, and my first instinct, I almost certainly would have called a block based on the overhead view, but I'm not sure that would be right. I think there is room for healthy debate here.

At 0:17, W5's left foot had beaten B23 to the spot. W5's left leg was within the width of his torso (are we initially being fooled by his right foot being left outside his shoulder width to the right?). B23 never gets his head and shoulders around W5's torso when contact occurs. I may have talked myself into PC.

Anybody else think this may be PC, and why?

H&R couldn't be a move obvious block.
