Was Orlando robbed?

The Magic had an opportunity to win game two of the series against the Lakers when Courtney Lee took an alley oop pass and attempted to bank it off of the backboard and into the hoop with the scored tied. The replay shows Pau Gasol getting his hand caught in the rim as the ball is hitting the backboard.
Is that goaltending? If so, the Orlando Magic should be headed home tied 1-1, not down 0-2 heading into Tuesday night’s Game 3 of the NBA Finals. source
This is just too freaky, because they just aired the 72 Munich Germany USA basketball loss to Russia, where Russia gets 3 tries and 2 additional seconds to hand the USA their first ever Olympic loss. Doug Collins had seemingly gave the Americans the lead with 1 second left on the clock and that is when the shenanigans began.
