Early on in this game Stan Van Gundy remarked that Jayson Tatum was really in official Tony Brothers' ear and that Tatum better watch it because Brothers, an excellent official, is known to have a short fuse. A long memory, too. A quarter later Tatum started to drive the rim and Brothers did this here.
I didn't see the travel, even on replay, but on the next possession, maybe the next next, Jimmy drove the rim and did the same move. No call (different official on Jimbo). JoeMaz went JoeSpaz. Reggie Miller explained after the break over a replay that Jimmy had done the same thing Tatum had and was not called for traveling. Moral: don't be a whiny bitch. No ref likes that and especially those named Tony Brothers.
