Prosecutors singled out a December 2006 Washington Wizards-Memphis Grizzlies game to illustrate how Donaghy used inside information when relaying his picks to coconspirators. After initially telling a cohort that he thought Memphis would prevail, Donaghy recalled that an "official NBA scorer" entered the referees's locker room and reported that the Grizzlies were "all banged up." Armed with that injury information, Donaghy quickly called his coconspirator and "changed his pick to the Wizards."

I was reading True Hoop today and this caught my eye. I remember making a stink about this game. Officials for the game were Ely Roe, Joe Forte, and Tim Donaghy.

I went to this game...don't remember much about the officiating...but the Grizzlies didn't have Pau and I think the Wiz had the most points to that point in any first half all year.

I guess Donaghy realized early the Grizz were too fargone to win.

It was 45-18 after one, the largest deficit (-27) the Grizzlies franchise has ever faced after the first quarter.

Fratello was fired after the next game (an 18-point home loss to Milwaukee).

My mistake...maybe I felt like that because he was coming off injury and had little impact.
