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.

NBA refs missed this blatant foul on Devin Booker

NBA fans lost their minds when Devin Booker didn’t foul out

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.
