The two SOFT calls on Grant Hill completely changed the complexion of the game. The officials had been great up to that point, too. Hill was locking Kobe down in crunch time to the point where the whole Lakers offense was extremely inefficient.
Literally 5 seconds after Grant Hill fouled out, Kobe hits a 3 in Jared Dudley's grill and it's a changed outcome from there.
Vince Carter is a joke. You just know every shot he takes in crunch time is gonna be a brick.
