Ok..I know this is wrong. But.... The shot Batum gave Dirk to the face. That is almost old school. Like, if a guy is driving to the hoop, lay some wood on him so he isn't so eager. Notice Dirk really didn't make baskets from that point on. It was Like Batum got to him. Granted, e made for some tough shots with Man up D. But still.... The shot to the face..

Also, Blakes efforts on Dirk. He gave all he had. Maybe that set Batum up. Dirk had it easy, then not.
