No, we're not talking about a ref playing favorites. He just happened to get in the way of Iman Shumpert before the Cavs guard tried to pull up for a 3-point shot. Instead of attempting his jumper, Shumpert stumbled the court as he ran into the ref, forcing a turnover by LeBron James. Fair to say, Shumpert wasn't pleased about the situation.

The ref lost his shoe in the process, and the whole thing seemed accidental. In the end, that play wasn't the reason the Cavs lost.
