Officiating takes center stage as Bucks survive tense game 3 for 2-1 lead (05.09.2022)

Was Jrue Holiday's foul on Marcus Smart a shooting foul? How can there be such a big disparity in second-half foul shots? The NBA officials were in the crosshairs after Milwaukee's Game 3 win, a tense down-to-the-buzzer finish that gave the Bucks a 2-1 lead in the series against the Celtics. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Jim Owczarski and host JR Radcliffe look at where it stands, the degree to which the Bucks miss Khris Middleton, the big output from Giannis (even if the MVP trophy is going to someone else), the Wes Matthews factor and, yes, the officiating. 

Music intro produced by Olivia Reiner and voiced by Michelle Rutkowski. Music during segments from SoundCloud, "Pursuit Music Logo."
