It was really bad. Even if we just ignore the massive FT disparity (37-8) there's a few plays that really stand out that are game changing in the order they happened.

* Late in the 4th (under 2 minutes left so reviewable) there is an out of bounds play that goes Nuggets way, replays show it was the wrong call. Aaron Gordon literally begs officials to review, they don't. Shortly after at the other end an out of bounds play goes the Magic's way, get reviewed and reversed. Right call but just jarring because of what happened before that at the other end.

* Murray blows up at the refs with 9 seconds left and doesn't get a technical. Magic got 3 technicals for far less including an ejection.

* Nuggets get sent to the line for a non shooting foul in OT when not at the limit. The Magic point out that Nuggets are not at the limit. Refs send them to the line anyway.

* 20 seconds left in OT. 3 point game. Murray steps out of bounds right in front of the official. Twice. Doesn't get called, he then gets fouled and Nuggets go up 5 and game is over.

It was an OT game so all the above are absolutely game changing. And again that's if you completely ignore the massive FT disparity between the 2 teams. The Magic actually changed their tactics because of it. They stopped driving to the basket because nothing was getting called (They had 0 FT's in the first 39 mins of play) and resorted to shooting ridiculous amounts of 3's instead (49)
