CHICAGO -- The Denver Nuggets' 12th consecutive win didn't come easily or without controversy.

 

While Andre Iguodala's 3-pointer with 7.1 seconds left in overtime will go down as the game-winning shot in the Nuggets' 119-118 win over Chicago, the Bulls feel otherwise.

 

"We felt like we got it stolen from us," Bulls forward Carlos Boozer said, referring to the play with 1.7 seconds left in which Chicago center Joakim Noah grabbed a shot from teammate Marco Belinelli that was on its downward path to the basket and slammed it home.

 

The officials initially didn't blow their whistles, but when Denver called an immediate timeout and loudly complained that it was goaltending, the referees reviewed video and disallowed Noah's bucket, sending the Bulls to their seventh loss in their last 11 games.

 

"If we deem the ball in its descent has a chance to score, and therefore it's in the cylinder, it's either offensive basket interference or it's goaltending, that's it," referee Ken Mauer told a pool reporter when asked about the game-deciding call.

 

"It's a tough play," Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau said, citing a similar play just before Noah's by Denver's Kosta Koufos that was not called by the officials.
