As he did for us last year, Tim Donaghy, a contributing writer for The Sports Connection (www.DannyB.info) and a former NBA referee who spent 11 months in prison for relaying inside information to gamblers, will review the performance of his former colleagues during the NBA Finals. Here's a quarter-by-quarter break down of Game 4, with accompanying video.

[Game 1] [Game 2] [Game 3] [Game 4] [Game 5] [Game 6]

FIRST QUARTER

6:17 [TIE 8-8] Good call on Bibby. This matchup between Barea and Bibby has been extremely physical the entire series, and it got especially physical last night. The referees need to check that by calling fouls on both players on the defensive end. This will be a point of emphasis going into Game 5. You're going to see a lot of fouls called early — body-checks, illegal screens, anything that would prohibit freedom of movement.

5:59 [TIE 8-8] Bosh receives the ball and travels prior to passing. His left foot is his pivot foot, and he takes an extra full step (covering more than two feet) before making the pass.

4:03 [DAL 12-10] James touches the ball while it's descending into the cylinder. Offensive basket interference should have been called.

1:42 [DAL 18-16] This is a fair lane violation call on James. All players must wait until the release of the ball prior to entering the lane on a free throw, and he clearly makes his move before Terry's shot. Lane violations happen all the time, obviously. My guess is that Dallas had complained to the league, and the officials were watching closely.

1:30 [DAL 19-16] Terry impedes James as he cuts across the lane and commits a clear foul that's missed by the officials. This is drilled into NBA officials' heads; players must have freedom of movement. Stevenson gets hit with the make-up call seconds later.

:18.8 [DAL 19-18] This is NOT a foul on Haywood. James flops — it's one of the worst, and therefore most impressive of the series so far — and gets the referees to bite and call a foul. The officials compound the bad call by issuing Dallas coach Rick Carlisle a technical foul.
