Spurs’ Protest Denied
NEW YORK, May 14 -- The National Basketball Association announced today that Commissioner David Stern has denied the San Antonio Spurs' protest of its 74-73 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on May 13.
The Spurs claimed that Lakers guard Derek Fisher’s game-winning shot was not taken within the 0.4 seconds that remained in the game when the ball was in-bounded. Video tape review revealed that the game clock was started appropriately and confirmed the finding of the referees using instant replay that the shot was released before time expired. ¶ 5/14/2004 01:35:00 PM

David Stern is all for the money. Derek Fisher's shot was not shot in 0.4 seconds. Like they said, the game clock did not start when fisher touched the ball. The Lakers cheated out of game 5, which eventually changed how the series destiny was supposed to be.

BLAH!!! Whatever dude.
The Lakers won.
You can shoot a ball in .4 seconds.
Of course, the whole NBA wanted the Lakers to win. They are a bigger story.
But it doesn't matter.
They won.
And I don't care.
