It met the criteria for a flagrant. I mean the NBA has been pretty consistent on that for a few years besides the calls on Harden (@HardenVolumeOne) .
The basketball gods came through for us tonight. They see the goal that we're aiming for and blessed us with both tonight. PRAISE NAISMITH!
Coach bud with a great challenge. Tougher to call it a flagrant when a coach is skeptical it is even a foul. Also great choice to not call time out and have Giannis get downhill after the FTs
