The broadcast replay revealed what the officials missed - Darius' subtle shove after Ryan's missed three.
"A tense moment between those two," noted play-by-play announcer Richard Mason. "Darius wasn't happy about that shot selection."
"Wouldn't be the first time he's gotten physical with teammates," added color analyst David Wilson. "But credit to Ryan for keeping his cool."
"True. But let's be honest—Ryan's 0 for 3 from deep today. Maybe Darius has a point."
Coming out of the timeout, the Boulders had clearly made some adjustments.
The game didn't flip like some expected. The Roarers rode momentum, but they didn't blow the doors off. The lead didn't vanish in a blink.
