Controversial ending to basketball gold medal game in 1972 between USA and USSR

In the most controversial game in international basketball history, the U.S. lost its first ever Olympic contest, ended a 63-game Olympic winning streak and a string of seven consecutive Olympic gold medals.

A fitting end to a dreadful Olympiad (though Frank Shorter's marathon victory was kind of a salve). The U.S. was jobbed so many times in so many events, it was pathetic. I have a suspiscion the Soviets would have probably gotten twelve more chances until they put one in. As a Philly guy, I particularly feel bad for Mike Bantom from St. Joe's and Doug Collins, a member of the Sixers.
