I get the idea behind Breen's argument, but you just can't rule it that way with instant replay.

The argument is basically, if that play happens in any scenario where replay isn't allowed, it's Lakers ball because Beverley knocked it out of LeBron's hands and out of bounds.

But basically any scenario where the ball is knocked out of someone's hands, it is technically touching that someone's hands last just due to physics. So basically, if the refs want to get the call right every time, they should give the ball to whoever knocks the ball out, but they don't because of common sense. Instant replay basically erases common sense from the equation and makes it so the defender gets the ball when they knock it out of bounds.

I think it just has to be this way; it would be kinda ludicrous to purposefully replace objective rulings with subjective rulings instead, but it is really weird that we basically rule those plays the opposite way for 46 minutes of the game.
