Watch: NBA Finals refs must have money on Suns to not call this foul on Devin Booker
By Scott Rogust
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker got away with a sure-fire foul in the latter portion of Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The Phoenix Suns were looking to put Game 3 behind them and leave Milwaukee with a win over the Bucks to give them a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals. But in Game 4, the Bucks were not going away too easily, as it was a largely back-and-forth affair. Unfortunately, shoddy officiating arrived at the worst possible time — the closing minutes of the game.
Late in the fourth quarter, Bucks guard Jrue Holiday drove to the basket and attempted a layup with Suns star Devin Booker guarding him. Booker then made obvious contact with Holiday, worthy of a foul call. But none came, and Twitter could not believe it.

Perhaps the main point of the non-call was that Booker already had five fouls called against him in that game. A sixth would have sent him off the court. Instead, he got away with obvious contact on Holiday.
