The 2 bad out of bounds calls seemed to suck the momentum out from under them.
More even than the missed bunny by Diarra that would've made the arena erupt even more.
The phantom fouls on Alex were basically given because McDermott was calling for it. You could see McDermott stomping and demanding it. Not sure what Alex was supposed to do. Green put his arm out and hooked him and Alex clamped it there. Is Alex supposed to raise his arms out of his defensive posture to give Green a free release and the advantage? Alex kept his arms down to get stability or leverage.
That is a nutty foul call.
But McDermott demanded it and the official complied.
