Pardon the interruption, but I'm Mike LeBond. Tax Day, Tony. Have you sent in your return?

I'm Tony Coronizer, no. I had my account and him I died three years ago. You know what, I'd hate to spoil it for you, but there's some video evidence that says you're alive and well and earning. That's AI. Right here. AI created. I'm not that person. I am AI generated even sitting in you. And I can be AI, because I am AI. You know, Anthony Irwin, I can do that. Welcome to PTI, boys and girls. In today's episode, The Blazers beat the Sons. The Sorty Tour is on the ropes, and Jeff Passon joins us for five good minutes. But we begin today with last night's Eastern Conference play-in where Charlotte eliminated Miami in overtime.

Lamello Ball had the winning basket, but back in the second quarter, ball reached out and

appeared to pull Bam out of bio by the ankle, causing him to fall in a heap, resulting in an injury

that kept out of bio out for the rest of the game. Afterwards, heat coach Eric Spolstra said

ball should have been thrown out of the game.

The referee said they could not review the play because no original call had been made. Wilbon, do you agree that balls should have been ejected? Yep. There's no question about it. It should have been ejected. You're watching this. And I understand what, let me just say this. I understand why any one of those officials would have let that play go, because they don't like to stop a fast break for a team.

Going the other way. That's incidental. Yeah. Right? Balls going to the other way. They're going to get a layup out of this. You don't want to stop the play. And if you just make that decision, which is a reasonable decision for an official to make in real time, you can't go back and review it.

So you can't give back and review it.

So you can't give him what should have been at minimum a flagrant one, but more likely to me.

Because by the way, this isn't the first time.

It's not the first time the ball has reached out and grabbed even this player.

The best player on the Miami Heat, a guy who scored a million points of the game this

year.

So he would have been flagrant-tued and ejected.

And now the league, I guess, is examining what to do, but that doesn't help Miami.

Miami's going to win that game.

It was a thrilling game.
