Pietrus was called for a flagrant foul for pushing Gasol in the back as the Lakers forward completed a dunk with 3.4 seconds left in overtime of Los Angeles' 99-91 victory in Game 4.

Posted by Kevin Arnovitz There have been calls throughout the postseason for Pau Gasol to see more opportunities to score down on the low block. Gasol himself hadn't been one of those critics. The Lakers' big man is a harmonious sort who trusts the Lakers' triangle offense without reservation. This makes a lot of sense because the system is ideally suited to Gasol'...
