Tim Donaghy claims Blazers intentionally cheated by refs in 2000 West Conf Finals, in his new book, "Blowing the Whistle"

"The 2002 series certainly wasn't the first or last time [Dick] Bavetta weighed in on an important game. He also worked Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals between the湖人队and theTrail Blazers. The Lakers were down by 13 at the start of the fourth quarter when Bavetta went to work. The Lakers outscored Portland 31–13 in the fourth quarter and went on to win the game and the series. It certainly didn't hurt the Lakers that they got to shoot 37 free throws compared to a paltry 16 for the Trail Blazers."
