Taj Gibson Chicago Bulls forward Carlos Boozer drew a flagrant foul against Miami Heat forward LeBron James that may have proven to be the turning point in the game that brought Miami's winning streak to an end at 27.
DETAILS: How Heat's streak came to end after 27
WATCH: Kirk Hinrich tries to tackle LeBron and fails
James extended his arm to Boozer's chest area as Boozer tried to set a pick for Kirk Hinrich, and was awarded two shots and possession after a lengthy video review. It appeared to be a borderline call, but it's understandable that it was called a flagrant given that James' push came just below Boozer's neck.
On the previous play, Taj Gibson had attempted to block James at the rim and instead grabbed his shoulder with one arm and swung towards his head with the other. That call was reviewed and deemed simply a common foul, despite being arguably more worthy of a flagrant call than James' foul on Boozer.
The Bulls ultimately beat the Heat 101-97, snapping the second-longest winning streak in NBA history. Miami cut Chicago's lead to five in the final minutes, but the momentum of the game never shifted back in the Heat's favor after the flagrant call on James.
