Yes, again.

A wise old Sharpa once said, "Victory is futile when playing 5 vs. 8." This is the lesson learned earlier this evening as the Sacramento Kings fell short of a victory once again due to a horrible call favoring the opposing team with less than a minute to play. With 58 seconds on the clock, center Brad Miller drove to the hoop and plowed through a defender to score two points with a foul to bring the Kings within one point of the Chicago Bulls. However, all three referees determined that the defensive foul was in fact an offensive foul on Brad Miller for charging. But with the miracle of replay, you can clearly see that the defender's heel was over the arc under the basket, deeming the foul on the Chicago player. By losing a three point swing, the Kings went on to lose by five points. What else can you do but scratch your head in amazement.
