First of all, it was an awesome game. But, i dont understand how #4 for Temple didnt travel when he makes his game winning shot... His left foot is down and is clearly his pivot foot, yet he lifts it and put all his weight on his right foot to lean and take the shot. From what i understood, once that pivot foot is established you cant lift it like that. No one has been going apeshit over the non-call so am i completely wrong?

I looked it up on wikipedia. It looks like it was legal because his pivot foot never touched the ground before the ball was released. If his pivot foot had hit the ground first, then it'd have been traveling.
