The NBA is investigating the Sacramento Kings’ intentional foul of Golden State Warriors guard Seth Curry late in the Warriors’ 110-105 win over the Kings on Tuesday, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. <\/p>\n
“I’m told the NBA is investigating this situation, this foul that took place with over three minutes left in the game to Seth Curry,” Charania reported Wednesday on NBA Today. “But Kings sources tell me that Doug Christie just made a mistake, a strategical error. He thought he had a foul to give with over three minutes to go to get a free timeout. That’s the rule if you have over three minutes left, he felt like he had a foul to give. He did not have a foul to give. So, the Kings side is saying that this was a mistake.”<\/p>\n
With Sacramento leading Golden State 101-100 and just over three minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Kings forward Doug McDermott intentionally fouled Curry. <\/p>\n
Curry connected on one of his two free-throw attempts before the Warriors later won the game.<\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that Kings head coach Doug Christie immediately called a timeout after the intentional foul occurred.<\/p>\n
Golden State eventually improved to 37-42 with the victory, while Sacramento fell to 21-59.<\/p>\n
After the game, Warriors forward Draymond Green called out the incident.<\/p>\n
“I saw a team tonight foul Seth Curry with three minutes to go for no reason,” Green said, per ESPN’s\u00a0Anthony Slater<\/a>. “I get fined when I do wrong. Fine the hell outta people.”<\/p>\n
