There were a lot of ways that play could have turned out the right way, but the refs screwed up the call, the refs screwed up not reviewing it themselves, and Brown screwed up by Browning a challenge earlier in the game. All can be pointed out.

Brown was right to challenge that call though. It was a bad call. The replay review being so broken that an obvious bad call is "confirmed" by the same guys who made the bad call and then we lose a timeout too... well. That's just the NBA. We're always going to be the Kings and we know where we stand.

Seems insane to me that if the refs disagree on a call, they don't go to review. Just to make it on the fly and be so wrong is crazy

the refs have to "fix" this. game was over except their blown call. Like does nobody from the league have a link to their in ear comms to say hey guys you just f'd up massively, call a few calls to insure the right team wins.

no I know it doesn't work that way but why the hell not?

I remain a fan of saving one's challenge until the very end for a crunchtime situation like this. The challenge should not used to fix a bad call during the game. The challenge should be used to save the game for you when the inevitable horrible call can cost you the game.

Until NBA refereeing become even moderately competent, it must be used this way.

I mean, it should just be a rule that if something is called on the floor, the refs don't all agree, they go to review. Seems like an easy fix.
