Sometimes, officials make mistakes. This is one of those times.

During the third quarter of Tuesday evening's loss to the Nets, Damian Lillard took a dribble inside the three-point line, pulled up from a solid few feet inside the arc and put up a shot. It swished in.

No problem there. Two points for the Blazers, right? Actually, make that three ...

I guess we all have moments when we zone out at the office.

Bennie Adams is a well-respected referee who's been around the NBA for 20 years. He's been a playoff official during each of the past three seasons. We'll let this one slide, Bennie. At the very least, just go review a play like this next time it happens.
