By now, NBA referee Scott Foster has a built-in (and conspiratorial) reputation for swinging big playoff games. At the very least, even if some of his calls aren’t intentional, he’s well-known to fans for mostly the wrong reasons as an official.
One moment stands out in particular from Foster’s latest work — Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals on Saturday night. Even while Jamal Murray’s Denver Nuggets eventually prevailed to take a 3-0 series lead, there was an instance with Los Angeles Lakers guard Dennis Schröder that made it seem like Foster was seemingly invested in an L.A. victory.
