I can predict the Arizona gripes--that they called called for 11 more fouls than we were. But, frankly, they deserved them. Their defensive aggression depends upon them bodying up on our players a lot--and while they were usually disciplined enough not to foul with their hands, these officials did decide to call them for the complete-body fouls.
I do think this was one of the least-well officiated games I have seen, but it did not tip the balance either way. The terribleness seemed to cut both ways.
