I can't recall that's ever happened late in a game and especially the finals....Lebron was outside the restricted area, he was moving slightly, but the commentators say the rules allow for some movement...so how do they conclusively reverse that call? In live speed, wow, it looks like a charge to me.

that was huge reversal and ultimately the difference the game, I believe only 30 seconds left in the game

Cavs were up 2, and they would have shot 2 free throws on the other end, right? or least gotten the ball...

Also, Lebron was fouled a couple of times down the stretch, no call...right across the wrist...was obvious

reminded me of the officiating in the Houston Series game 7.

My Gosh, they have to get these calls right,

these guys work too hard to have a call missed change the outcome...

The level of frustration Lebron must be feeling how that game got away must be a 10 out of 10.

I would have kicked the ball in the stands...

Looked like a clear block to me in real time

Replay confirmed, IMO

I don't mind the reversal. I'm just glad they got it right.

The worst part is the restricted area is what initiates a review, and that part of it wasn’t even close. It was a stretch to review it in the first place, let along getting to switch a judgement call afterward

Looked like a clear charge in real time.

In slow motion it looked 50/50.

The reach in called against Hill when he got a clean strip on Durant. That was some lowdown dirty shite.

He was set when Durant when upwards for the shot. The official talking with the announcers even said as much. It was a charge, period.

Yep. He didn’t get there in time. I am Fine with the replay. Getting it right should be the #1 priority.

He was fricking moving shoulder first into KD, clear blocking foul.

Durant lowered shoulder and was out of control

Clearly a block. Good to see them get the call right.

It was absolutely a charge. Replay confirmed it. The refs were kind of trash all night.

You're trolliois weak. Everyone in the country thought that was clean. There is no way you can watch that end and thing anything other than Cleveland got robbed.

Arguing charge/block is pointless. It is a pure judgment call. The reversal is the bigger issue.

Charge in real time. Block in slow mo. Ridiculous that it’s reviewable.

Ultimately they got it right in my opinion. But I don’t like fouls being reviewable.

The reversal is bulshit because of why the review is allowed.

Lebron wasn't anywhere near the line.

The only way you can review that is to see if the defender is on the line.

2 refs made different calls.

There's no way they went to see if his damn feet were on the line. They clearly weren't. So talk about the call and decide. No need to go to review and then change it.
