Fine, but the refs are supposed to apply the rule as written, not as you think it should be rewritten.

True, I dont watch much basketball except for late in the playoffs. I couldn't tell you if this is a loop hole that's commonly exploited or if this was a rare occurrence. But it seems odd to me that the issue of block vs charge is reviewable only while reviewing if a player was in the restricted area or not. Why make the issue reviewable at all if it can't be reviewed on it's own? That defies logic in my opinion.

Here's a link to an article that mentions the points were both making. My guess is this rule gets clarified in the off season.

If it's all about getting the call right, then why not review every single call throughout the game?

Many people within the game were saying they have never seen what happened, happen before.

I'm in favor of getting the call right as much as possible in any sport. Especially in key situations late in a game. I'm personally in favor of even reviewing things like ball vs strike, or pass interference if it can be done without drastically slowing down the game.

Relax, have some tea. If we don’t finish the match today, we can finish it in the morning.
