My point was if they were trying to fix the game why did it take a 3 point buzzer beater to win it?

Anyway there are poorly officiated games all the time, doesn't mean there is some big conspiracy going on. Officials make mistakes every single game, some games more then others. That is a fact. Combine that with the Lakers being at home, Shaq and Kobe being 2 players that were probably averaging the most free throw attempts in the league at the time and I don't see how it is "obvious" that the game was fixed. Poorly officiated probably but fixed, I doubt it.
