This was one of those plays that replay should have helped on, not taken away from.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin was doing a decent job defending Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson on Thursday when Griffin bit on an upfake and tried to recover by swiping at the ball when Gibson put up a shot.
This was the result.
OK, so it looks bad, but it probably wasn’t worthy of an ejection, especially considering Griffin’s obvious “Oh no, I didn’t mean to do that” reaction immediately following the blow.
The Clippers lost to the Bulls, 83-80.
