Refs are gonna f**k up sometimes. Didn't expect them to f**k up 3 obvious calls so badly in late 4th and OT. It is what it is. Cavs should have never been in that position after dominating for 3 quarters.
Apparently people on Reddit are actually saying this was the right call (or no-call):
"It's actually legal in the rulebook section 3-1.26 if two players hold the ball and step out of bounds it negates the out and counts as legal...
Good call by the refs"
Didn't know that.
EDIT: Actually looking further into it, there's a deep discussion if two "players" is referring to two players period or two players on opposite teams.
