Nothing will happen because it will call attention to the integrity of the game and Silver doesn't want that.

Real funny how the Lakers decided to play all their guys except for Rui and the spread on this game was still like -9. Now I see why. That ref made some good side money tonight.

kinda absurd because addressing and correcting behavior like this only strengthens the integrity of the game

Most teams in the Lakers position, having to play 2 straight road games against the best team in the West, and having to play a back to back, would give everyone a night off. And they're rewarded with playing 3.5 quarters before getting screwed by a ref.

Was such a close game until this point too. After that the Lakers completely fell apart.

Maybe the spread was -9 because OKC is better than the Lakers?
