Looked it up.
Kings score with 11 seconds left to trail by one.
Kobe gets the ball on the inbounds. He is pressured by Bibby and Kobe intentionally swings his elbow hard into Bibby's face, knocks him down, and they called a foul on Bibby.
Kobe hits two free throws for a 3-point lead. Bibby takes the last shot to tie and misses.
What should have happened was an offensive foul on Kobe, probably a flagrant and possibly an ejection.
Bibby should have had two free throws to take the lead. Then the Lakers would have time to get a shot.
If Kings win that game, they win the series.
That awful call was even more decisive than Horry's jumper. At least Horry did it fair and square.
That is why God wants Kobe on lock-down. He cheats too much.
