## Resource

The NBA's two-minute report vindicated the officials in Game 5, ruling the controversial late-game non-call on Jarrett Allen a legal play — and Ken and Lima used it to torch JB Bickerstaff and the Pistons for their post-game whining. The irony wasn't lost on anyone that Detroit, a franchise built entirely on the identity of being the toughest, most physical team in basketball history, was the one crying foul over incidental contact while the Cavs were busy out-muscling them all series long. With common sense prevailing and the report backing up Tony Brothers, the bigger story became how badly the Pistons' complaints exposed their own identity crisis heading into a must-win Game 6 situation on the road in Cleveland.
