Suns’ Grayson Allen on flagrant call, ejection against Thunder
Grayson Allen said he disagreed with the Flagrant 2 call and the ejection in the Suns’ NBA Cup quarterfinal game against the Thunder on Dec. 10.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s hilarious goggle from Grayson Allen’s flagrant 2 foul on Chet Holmgren instantly turned a dust-up in the Phoenix Suns-Oklahoma City Thunder NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup into comedy on social media.
During the Thunder’s 138-89 blowout win on Dec. 10, Gilgeous-Alexander briefly stalled his dribble with a wide-eyed reaction to Allen’s heated shove on Holmgren to offset a screen in the third quarter, drawing laughs online. After Holmgren fell to the floor, the teams had to be separated.
