Depends on what you call dirty. They showed a replay of the play at the game. Mallet goes up to dunk, while in the air the trailing defender grabbed him around the waist and spun him around in the air. There was ZERO play on the ball, intentional call was definately right. As far as dirty, if you spin someone in the air and make that gesture when the player is laying on the ground grabbing his leg, makes it seem like he accomplished what he was trying to do. If intent was to hurt, play was definately dirty.
At a minimum, it was classless.
