The refs missed calls on both sides but in the final seconds they gave the Lakers about 3 bad calls that even the announcers were wondering about. Those phantom calls sent Kobe to the line and allowed the Lakers to get the tie.
I know the refs have a hard job and have to make spit second decisions without the benefit of instant replay but it's a shame that something with so much on the line has so much room for error.
