Mavs 134, Warriors 132

Yes, this business of calling fouls on defenders when the shooter jumps several feet into the defender is getting absurd.  And, also, all the traveling that is being allowed is ruining the game, imo.  I'm told that the rule is still two steps without dribbling on the way to the rim, but players are routinely taking three full steps without dribbling when they are going to the goal.  And all the hopping and jumping around, after picking up one's dribble, so as to distance oneself from the defender is also getting ridiculous.

Lots of people are calling for teams to play more and better defense in the NBA, but how does one do that when the game is being reffed in this manner?
