Shai Gilgeous-Alexander called for Flagrant 1 against Austin Reaves

The referees called an offensive foul against Gilgeous-Alexander on the play, his fourth in the game. The Thunder coaching staff disagreed with the call and challenged it.

The challenge was unsuccessful, and it resulted in the foul being upgraded to a Flagrant 1.

Fortunately, Reaves did not seem to injure his shoulder during the incident. He remained in the game and seemed fine after the foul.

The Lakers are down in this one and are staring at the possibility of going down 2-0 in the series. As of writing, the Thunder have a 95-88 lead with 9:14 remaining in the fourth quarter.
