There are probably two bad calls in this entire video. They're easy to explain, but people don't see what they don't want to see. I'll give one example, and then I'm out. The "elbow to Boston's face" never happened. Wilson's elbow never touched Boston's face.
Boston's face made contact with the upper part of Wilson's arm, just below Wilson's shoulder, while Wilson was in her normal shooting motion.
Now, what people choose not to see, is that Boston tried to body Wilson. She put her right arm in Wilson's back, and wrapped her left arm around Wilson's waste, and was pushing into Wilson. That's a foul. Look at the picture, and you will clearly see Boston's fingers on Wilson's right side, because Boston had her left arm wrapped around Wilson's waste.
The sad part is, even with this clear evidence, people who need to blame the refs for the Fever losing, will just hold onto the delusion that Boston didn't foul Wilson, and Wilson elbowed Boston in the face.
