We admit: We slept on this play. When we heard that Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry got hit with a terrible offensive foul call at the end of a game against the Kings last night, we thought, "How bad could it really have been?" But then we saw it and…wow. Just wow. This might actually be the worst offensive foul call we've ever seen, and we're not just saying that. HOW IS THIS A FOUL?!

In the end, the Raptors lost by 8 points. So it would seem that this play didn't actually matter. But this resulted in a four-point swing in the ball game (Lowry sunk a three on the play and should have been sent to the line for a free throw, but his bucket was called off). So as weird as it sounds, this offensive foul call likely determined the game. So bad.
