CHARLOTTE, N.
Hassan
Whiteside Heat Jersey .C. -- Trey Burke scored 10 of his 20 points in the
fourth quarter and the Utah Jazz snapped the Charlotte Bobcats three-game
winning streak with an 88-85 victory Saturday night. Burke hit a 3-pointer with
1:38 left to put his team up by three and added a pair of free throws with 10
seconds remaining. Gordon Hayward had 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Jazz,
who had lost three of their past four games. Derrick Favors added 14 points.
Kemba Walker scored 20 points and Al Jefferson had 19 for the Bobcats, who were
playing their fourth game in five nights. The victory would have gotten the
Bobcats (13-15) back to .500 on the season. At halftime, Bobcats owner
Michael Jordan unveiled the teams new primary logo for when the team changes
names to the Charlotte Hornets after this season. The Bobcats trailed 81-72 with
6:42 left in the fourth quarter and appeared ready to make a run. After
Gerald Henderson hit a pair of free throws, Jefferson started to come alive,
cutting the lead to four with a power move inside, drawing an and-one on
Favours. On the next possession, Jefferson had a one-handed put-back dunk to
bring the teal and purple clad fans to their feet and close the gap to 81-79.
Jefferson then tied the game at 83 with three minutes left on a dunk off a
no-look pass from Walker. But Burke hit a 3-pointer to put the Jazz back in
front. The Jazz had a chance to extend the lead but Alec Burks threw an
alley-oop pass over the head of Haywood and out of bounds on a 3-on-1 fast break
with 1:38 remaining. That seemed to trigger a flurry of turnovers on both ends
of the court. With 27 seconds left, Walker beat Burke to the hole on the drive
but missed the layup off the glass. Jefferson had two easy chances in front of
the rim, but couldnt get the ball over the basket on either try. The Jazz got
the ball and Burke was fouled. The rookie knocked down both free throws with 10
seconds left to push the lead back to three. Walker and Henderson each had
3-point opportunities on Charlottes final possession but couldnt connect. The
Bobcats started the week with a win at home Tuesday night against Sacramento and
then overcame deficits of 16 points and 20 points on the road to beat Toronto
and Detroit.

is loaded with questions as to how the Los Angeles Kings third goal in their 6-0
win over Montreal on Tuesday could possibly have been allow to stand after Kyle
Clifford backed into Habs goalie Carey Price deep in his goal crease (video link
here). As my colleague Ray Ferraro said on the TSN broadcast, "Oh, I cant
believe there are going to allow this goal...In my opinion, this is as
goaltender interference penalty as youll find!" I couldnt agree more with Rays
accurate assessment of this play. What troubles me most, beyond the tremendous
inconsistency we see in calling goalkeeper interference, is that Referee Kevin
Pollock had an unobstructed view from a stationery position in the corner
closest to Kyle Clifford and Carey Price. The clear sightline gained in advance
by the referee, as the Kings attacked the Montreal goal, should have made it
easy to wave off Alec Martinezs first goal of the season and assess a penalty to
Clifford for goalkeeper interference! The rebound off the initial save that
Price made went to the opposite side of the net from where the referee was
standing - as Clifford was backing deep into the goal crease and initiated
contact with Price. From his position, the referee couldnt help but look
through the blue paint to locate the puck and therefore should have reacted to
the obvious goalkeeper interference that knocked Price off his set and thereby
prevented him from defending his goal. It matters little to me that this goal
didnt impact the final outcome of the game. What this play highlights for us is
that the current system of detecting and enforcing goalkeeper interference is
not working. When the referee on the goal line, and directly responsible for
this call, doesnt catch the interference a subsequent conference held between
the four officials is intended to act as a safety check to make the correct
determination. That oobviously isnt happening on a regular basis.
Glen Rice
Jersey. Recent decisions in the past couple of weeks have impacted games
and will continue to do so until a video review process is implemented to allow
the refs to get this important call right! On Nov. 27, Evgeni Malkin pushed
Toronto goalie Jonathan Bernier off a frozen puck and completely across the goal
line with his stick before scoring the tying goal that forced overtime. While
goalie interference was most obvious on this play, no call was made and the goal
was allowed to stand. Pittsburgh picked up two points in the eventual shootout
win. Two nights later, a Leaf goal was immediately disallowed by referee Justin
St. Pierre when Habs goalie Carey Price moved forward to establish position in
his crease and initiated contact with James van Riemsdyk. JVR had set up just
inside the top of the crease with his skates visible in the blue paint. On that
play rule 69.3 was enforced by the letter of the law which states, "If a
goalkeeper, in the act of establishing his position within his goal crease,
initiates contact with an attacking player who is in the goal crease, and this
results in an impairment of the goalkeepers ability to defend his goal, and a
goal is scored, the goal will be disallowed." The goalie interference rule
doesnt get any clearer than that and demonstrates in both philosophy and spirit
that a goalkeeper should be allowed to position himself within his blue paint to
stop the puck without any physical obstruction unless initiated by a defending
player. Im good with that philosophy and the call that referee Justin St.
Pierre made in the enforcement of this rule. The problem we see far too often is
that protection of the goalkeeper is not enforced consistently. I hope the
leagues executives have addressed this pressing issue, among other problems that
need their attention, during recent meetings. The implementation of referee
video review and/or a coachs challenge seems to be the most logical solutions to
get this crucial call right.
