Marreese Speights (GS) lost his shoe on Golden State's offensive end and it was kicked out of the way to near half court and he continued to play without the shoe. Golden State turned the ball over and Dallas missed on their end. As Stephen Curry (GS) brought the ball over half court, he bent down picked up the shoe and tossed it towards Speights (behind him) - BUT Tyson Chandler saw the in-air shoe and swatted it out of bounds! Play was stopped seconds later when Jae Crowder was called for a foul and Speights was able to put his shoe back on. A little bit of irony was that Dallas actually had no blocks (of shots) in the game.
