I haven't seen anywhere that the ref admitted seeing a foul and didn't call it. I saw the league said it was a blown call though.
This is a plausible explanation for Wright putting his arms up:
The problem I have is why not wrap Melo up when he fumbled the ball at his feet? He wasn't going to get a shot off. Foul him and give them 3 seconds to get a shot off.Wright was seen pulling back and raising his arms straight up as Anthony hoisted the winning shot, but the Mavs argued -- which the league's ruling would appear to support -- that Wright was merely trying to avoid a shooting foul once he realized that his charge into Anthony's shoulder on the dribble didn't sway Wunderlich.
"Antoine was so sure he fouled him," Carlisle said, "that he stopped."
