The reason Brunson's box-out stayed a common foul comes down to one thing: embellishment.
There was real contact on the play, no question. But Brunson snaps his head back, braces with his arm, and pushes himself off to fly further than the contact warranted. That's a vet trick I've seen savvy players use for years. The league reviewed it and got it right — you can't elevate a foul to flagrant when the receiver is amplifying the effect.
