Mentioned in this video
SGA shot 17 free throws in Game 1, so I get why Suns fans are frustrated. But Game 2 tells a more complete story.
Green catches him across the left arm on the spin — plenty there to blow the whistle — and the refs swallow it. Instead of complaining, Shai turns it into a double pump soft off the glass. That's elite.
But I also want to be fair here. Gillespie deserves real credit for being in legal guarding position, squared up and in the path. That's textbook defense and the no-call is correct.
The reach-in in the high post that leads to a turnover? The refs would get graded poorly on that one.
The bigger point Coach Nick is making: things tend to even out. Both sides are getting away with stuff. That's playoff basketball. #shorts
