Please Note: some calls I assigned as 'joint' to two refs, and in those cases the plays are "double counted" in the individual ref totals, but NOT in the ALL totals. But at the very least, the officiating cost the Kings the game. He specifically mentioned in his dealing with the feds that game 6 of the 2002 NBA finals was rigged.Let me repeat, in the information he gave to the FBI, he specifically mentions that game as being rigged.Why would he lie? Summary and statistics for the 2002 NBA Western Conference Finals - Lakers vs. Kings Officiating could have been better but the Kings still let Horry drain that 3. As a whole, these plays suggest to me the refs were calling the game honestly, if perhaps not well. Doubtful. It tilted slightly to the Lakers in the third quarter, and then the fourth quarter was heavily in the Lakers favor based on my evaluations. Delaney wasn't very active in the waning minutes, with one no call where Bibby looked for a foul at the 0:43 mark. He even later admitted that the commissioner said it would be in the best interest of the league that there was a game 7.
Anyway, that's a long winded way of saying there's some pretty debatable assumptions being made here. There is two shots where Shaq literally was not touched. To explain the 'negative bonus points' concept a touch more -- if for instance a player took a shot and was seemingly fouled but there was no call, that would be negative points on the call for his team since they lost free throws and 'expected value' resulting from them. On the other hand a personal foul that awards two free throws, both made, is only a +1 value despite the team scoring two points: if the foul doesn't happen we still expect on average a point from the possession. Still let's remember the accusation being made here -- not that there were some questionable calls that were imbalanced in the favor of one team (a frequent occurrence everyone can probably admit in basketball), but that So when I do this somewhat involved "quantification" of the officiating impact to generate team net 'bonus points' and add it all up, it looks like this: Whenever I tell people to look at that series, I get Downvotes. The game was officiated by Tim Donughy, a ref who gambled on games. So in viewing the plays I adjusted the points value by what I considered the "leftover value" of the possession if it hadn't happened, using for ease of calculation 1 point as the basic expectation of a possession. All right David, I'm game. There was one non-call I rated a "Maybe" and allocated to only the total rather than a specific ref, so the total "maybe/dubious" call sheet was 17-12 Lakers or 59% in their favor. This gets to the heart of the matter to me: despite the NBA's official claim that 95% of calls are correct over a season, there are just too many plays that are far from being clear cut wrong/right and many that fall into a gray area where even watching a play many times in slow motion you can make a case for different verdicts. The game started off with some breaks overall for the Kings and was very even at the half. Now Bernhardt did have the arguable turning point call of the game as it turns out at the 3:06 mark when Webber moved into the paint and made a basket only to have the shot wiped out with an offensive foul call. Horry's 3-pointer helps Lakers edge Kings Robert Horry and the Los Angeles Lakers seem determined to make their third championship run as cinematic as possible. Still an offensive foul on Kobe there could have changed the outcome! Let's go to the videotape. If the call was deemed a "yes" then the points adjustments are all considered to be fairly earned.
The 2002–03 NBA season was the Lakers' 55th season in the National Basketball Association, and 43rd in the city of Los Angeles.

On the other hand if you earn two free throws on a "maybe" call, the 50/50 category, then half the points for the call can be termed "bonus officiating points" for the team. The game was essentially a 1-point game with ~10 seconds left. Then a few non calls were charged only to the totals and not to one or two of the refs. Why would the FBI care about all this info and then not act in it?
