This missed goal-tending call is deemed a huge controversy, because it seemingly gave the Cavs the win. What is not being mentioned, however, is that a basketball game –on any level–is absolutely brimming with calls that could have gone the other way, or which may not have been warranted. So the whole thing is just an officiating crapshoot.
