When I say that I do not think it was significant last night, here is why I say so:
1. No team took a large lead over the other (15-20 points)
2. No key players fouled out
3. Game was tied a couple of times in the middle of the fourth quarter, giving both teams a shot down the stretch
4. Both teams went into the bonus with more than 5 mins left to play in the game.
5. The game did not come down to the last play. It ended with one team trying to foul 3-5 times to catch up
6. The losing team's superstar (Boozer) had a satistically sub-par game, again.
There were some bad calls last night, yes. There have been bad calls every night and in every game. But I dont see how refs had a significant impact last night. Both teams had a shot.
Let's see how many Jazz fans have a problem tomorrow night when the Jazz win Game 6.

The fact that the game was close is exactly why the refs role was somewhat larger last night. No one complains if the Jazz lose by 20.
