Those 2 fouls on Kobe by Damp = the outcome of the game . The first foul rattled Kobe enough that he shook himself out of his so called " funk" and he went Bat - **** crazy after that. 20 or so points in the 4th after that including a string of what 15 straight free-throws. And he had to sit for the OT period . No more offensive boards / second chance points for the MAvs after that point .
Also that was one of the most lopsided offciated games i've seen all year, and I follow the NBA very closely.
Props to Damp for having , for him, an above average game. That guy never plays like that and probably won't duplicate that performance for another 6 or 7 seven games or so. He's been a very inconsistent NBA player,
