So the most important highlight (or lowlight if you will) from last night was Blake’s scare at the end of the 3rd quarter when Brendan Haywood fouled Blake extra hard and was charge with a flagrant 1 foul:
Here’s the game recap with the foul at the 1:33 mark:

The good news is the x-rays were negative and Blake said he’s fine and should be able to play.
Here’s what Haywood told ESPN’s Marc Stein about the foul:
No, that’s not a flagrant foul,” Haywood told ESPNDallas.com’s Jeff Caplan. “I feel the NBA should give my money back for that one. It was one of those plays, I just grabbed his arm. He’s just so athletic and strong that he was still trying to finish the play and he ends up basically not protecting himself.
“On those type of plays he has to realize, ‘All right, I got fouled, just throw it at the rim and come down.’ Protect yourself for the next play. Every play can’t be a dunk-contest dunk.
And just for good measure here’s the Beard to Quake alley-oop again:

On a scale of “1 to Mozgov” this is what, a 2?
