"SGA had two fouls, and Jalen was there, and he ran him over. Just like the call they made on [OG Anunoby a few moments earlier]. I don't understand why that was a no-call. That should have been his third, the bucket shouldn't have counted, and we should have gone the other way with the basketball."
"To see that, knowing that Jalen is standing there and he's putting his body on the line and our guys are fighting their asses off to try to win a ball game, it didn't sit well with me."
"Gilgeous-Alexander has built a reputation for drawing more fouls than almost anyone in the NBA. His 9.2 free-throw attempts per game rank second in the league, only behind Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers."
The New York Knicks fell short against defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in a close 103-100 loss at Madison Square Garden. A critical no-call in the first quarter proved pivotal when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander drove into Jalen Brunson, whose feet were set in the paint. The officials did not call a charge, preventing Gilgeous-Alexander from receiving his third personal foul. Knicks head coach Mike Brown received a technical foul protesting the decision, arguing the call should have been made and the possession reversed. Gilgeous-Alexander averages 9.2 free-throw attempts per game, second only to Luka Doncic in the league, highlighting his reputation for drawing fouls.
