Look at 3:30 on the vid for the slo mo...

The shot block looks like it was clean... but before the block there was already a hand on his arm preventing the shot and pulling him to the ground as he made the shot...

The foul committed is pretty clear (at least it is in slo mo, after the fact, with that camera angle)... as is the obvious taunting... about which the announcer says "is immediately going to be a technical foul"...

I'll go back and look at the game to see what it was that preceded this last minute issue... before giving the officials a pass. The flagrant foul I saw... should have been called... but, when you see that happening without concern that it will be called... you should look to see if the officials "let them play" the whole game... and if they let both sides play the same way...

Back at 0:24 on the vid... a clear foul on the push off... but then the steal was clean...

It isn't "disrespecting" the other team when you keep playing to the end of the game... but it clearly is when you knock the other guy to ground and then stand over him and taunt him ?

The outcome of the game wasn't in doubt... so also no reason to not let him have his steal and a layup...

I'll look around to see what I can find about the outcome of the melee... this vid saying it is likely to have big impact on both teams given the lack of self control apparent in the seconds following the end of the game...

You'd expect player suspensions, and such..
