The Sacramento Kings dropped a tough game to the last-place Houston Rockets on Sunday afternoon.
A major turning point in the loss came with 8:14 in the fourth when Rockets’ wing Garrison Matthews went up on a fast break and was fouled hard by De’Aaron Fox mid-air, causing him to take a major tumble. The refs reviewed the play and decided to give Fox a Flagrant Two, which by rule is an ejection.
It was a hard foul, but giving Fox the Flagrant Two distinction seemed a bit excessive for a non-malicious play.
