The Refs aren’t “stealing” anything. They’re letting them play, for the most part, the review showed a foul on Edward’s, a lot of calls didn’t get a whistle, get past the bias and try and see that the better team in every game has won. It’s not anymore complicated than that. Want to win? Rediscover the magic formula Coach Reddick found midseason: play hard. If you don’t ten vacation beckons.

Don’t believe me? Want to keep the charade going? Cool but some stats don’t lie. 80 fouls called on the Lakers, 81 on the Timbereolves. Both teams have attempted exactly 69 free throws. The Lakers have taken 157 three pointers to the T’Wolves 139. The real difference is in the makes, despite shooting 18 fewer threes Minny has only made 4 fewer (53-57). They’ve committed way fewer turnovers, rebounded a lot better and are generally playing harder and with a focused force.
THATS the difference.
