I thought it was a good block, McMillan said. That game should have been over.
I dont want to sound rude, but it doesnt really matter now, he said. They made shots in overtime, and we didnt, and they got some calls their way, and they win the game. Now having said that we all know full well Nate McMillan knows the NBA frowns on coaches criticizing officials, and he could incur a fine for saying that.

But it sure as hell helped.
What a game by Aldridge none the less though. Aldridge took advantage of note being double-teamed to score a season-high 39 points.
