The NBA wanting them to win comment was a joke based on what they have done and been accused of in the past. But it did seem like they changed the way they called the game.

The Celtics were shooting above 50% iirc going into the 4th quarter, that has absolutely nothing to do with the refs letting them get away with a bunch. They were just doing a good job of hitting their shots and Allen was hitting threes. You can continue to blame the refs all you want, but it's hard to take you seriously when there was such a large discrepancy in the number of free throws given.

Again part of the reason that they were able to shoot that well was that in the paint they were able to get away with a lot.
I am not blaming the refs as in the end it was clear that the talented team were able to win, but the way they were calling the game in the fist was bad and in favor of the Celtics.
It isn`t surprising really as guys like Garnett often get calls in that league especially when going up against a guy like Anthony.
Also there is almost always a large discrepancy in Heat games and FT because pretty much nobody is able to attack the basket like Wade and LeBron.
