It probably should've been a flagrant, and I agree that the time of the game shouldn't matter one bit. If that was the case, then why wouldn't the team ahead just be utterly brutal in the closing seconds? If someone commits a technical with 0.1 left in a 3OT game that is the 7th game of the NBA finals, then it should still be called.

However, why is this getting so much play? It was a bad call, but they happen. Just like Gordon being out of bounds before he was fouled on the 3 pt attempt.
