With the game tied at 90 and less than twenty seconds remaining, the Chicago Bulls had a chance to hit a game-winning shot during Saturday’s Game 4 against the Bucks. However, Derrick Rose was stripped of the ball and the Bucks’ Jerryd Bayless was the one who hit the winner.
In Tom Thibodeau’s post-game presser, he said that refs missed his timeout call.

With Kirk Hinrich, Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson all in the game for the final possession, the non-timeout seemed like a very bizarre move at the time.
