The Washington Wizards completed a sweep of the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, and they got a little bit of help from the officiating crew along the way.
For example, we have absolutely no clue how John Wall wasn’t called for a travel on the play you see above. Everyone knows NBA refs let travels slide all the time, but that was particularly obvious. Here’s the fourth step Wall took before laying the ball in the basket.
Was that no-call the reason the Wizards won the game? No, and it certainly wasn’t the reason they swept the series. Aside from Game 1, which was in Toronto and went to overtime, the Raptors were completely outmatched. There was nothing their potty-mouthed general manager could have said to help them advance to the next round.
