I vote AK, although he shares the blame with Milsap, both of them blew the lead by not HOLDING THE BALL with 50 seconds to go.

I watched this on a 14 inch laptop, was AK pushed by a Heat player into the other Heat player? I know he had momentum but still. I mean, at least AK gave the ball up, Millsap just went for the dumb score. I think we all want to blame AK more but when you think about it, it should be Millsap.

Comes down to AK and Sap IMO. I picked Sap because AK played great defense on Wade and was a big reason we were in the game to begin with.

it has to be Ak. Yes he helped get the Jazz back into the game, but if he didn't make two or three boneheaded plays in the last 50 seconds the Jazz win.

AK got jobbed on 2 of those foul calls. If Deron has been called for those fouls we'd all be up in arms. Can't just blame AK for two calls that the refs made to try and make a more interesting game. That charge was one of the worst calls I've ever seen, on the weak side of the floor, after AK had jumped, landed, then Moon flopped. You don't call that.

Then the loose ball foul on the rebound was a bad call too. That was a gift from the refs because honestly when two players are going for the ball like that, and one player falls down it should have just been a loose ball period, or even a travel on Jones. Not a foul to put him at the line with 4 seconds left.

Then the out of bounds call that clearly went off of Haslem.

As bad as the Jazz played, the refs really put the Jazz in terrible positions in the last minute.

Watch the replay of the AK charge. Moon actually TURNED AROUND so he would hit the floor face first. You can't turn around when you are charged into, you shouldn't have much control of your body whatsoever. That is as bad as it gets. Well, not reviewing the ball off the foot of Haslem was worse, so 2 incredibly bad calls right in a row. The loose ball foul on AK would have been much more stomachable had he not been jobbed on the charge.

The goat was the ref who called Brewer for a blocking foul when DWade steamrollered him going down the lane. That was as bad as it gets.
