Is KD old or is the play to have him never shoot?

I wonder what the rulebook says if refs didn't award the timeout.


I believe it's only a tech if the refs acknowledge the timeout. Looked like Smith Jr was also calling for it, so Houston definitely was done a solid here by the refs. Would have been super anticlimactic for a double OT game to end on tech, so basketball fans are winners too.

OKC is so funny. Grabbing all the time and complaining when they get called for fouls

That's an example of the refs doing the wrong thing for the right reason. Like they know it's a bull**** way to end the game that no one wants so they just let it slide. I respect that but I really want refs calling games by the letter of the law whenever applicable.

Houston letting them off the hook. Why is no one moving without the ball? Standing around as Sengun pounds it smh doesn’t make any sense

Durant needs to master the Robert Horry role at this rate
