In its assessment of the final two minutes of Game 2 of the NBA Finals, the NBA admitted on Tuesday that officials missed four calls in overtime — all of which benefitted the Golden State Warriors.
After the report was published, Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert decided to send a message by calling out Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green on Twitter.

Naturally, the guy who used comic sans font several years ago to crucify LeBron James in a letter included a smiley face in his tweet.
You have to wonder if the NBA would have been as open in admitting that calls were missed if the Cavs went on to lose. It seemed like all of the whistles in overtime went in Golden State’s favor, but Cleveland still pulled out the win. If the Cavs lost and went down 0-2 in the series, Gilbert wouldn’t be having fun with the opposition on Twitter.
