In one of the most intriguing stories of the year, did the official scorer at the Hawks-Raptors game on November 24 potentially alter the outcome of the game?
Some Raptors fans on the RealGM Raptors forum are saying yes, and after reviewing the video evidence they may have a point.
It appears that Raptors guard TJ Ford made a layup which was never actually counted, meaning a four point Hawks lead late in the game was actually two points, which could have changed the way the Raptors played out the games' final possessions.
Forum member "webeye" broken down the sequence within the Raptors' game thread.
It was 85-78 Hawks.
Joe Johnson finally hit a free throw, and they gave a point to the Raptors. Scoreboard: 85-79. Should be 86-78.
TJ runs down and hits a circus shot layup with 4:33 remaining in the 4th. But the scorekeepers take a point away from Toronto. Scoreboard: 85-78. Should be 86-80.
The scorekeepers confer, and give Atlanta their missing point for JJ's free throw. Scoreboard: 86-78. Should be 86-80.
Lue hits a shot, and we're back to business as usual. Scoreboard: 88-78. Should be 88-80.
And that's it. The missing 2 points never return.
Footage of the incident can be seen on YouTube.
