Dramatic end of game was lived on Wednesday night between Hawks and Mavericks. The Atlanta team squandered their lead over the entire game, trailing by one point with 4.7 seconds left.
With the Hawks in possession of the ball to replenish from the side, Trae Young set up a screen for John Collins to enter, and Willie Cauley-Stein dropped the young point guard. The ball ended up in the hands of Danilo Gallinari, who took the shot and missed.
After the final horn, Young could be seen vehemently claiming the game referee for what he considered an illegal screen for Cauley-Stein. This action has cost the point guard a fine of $ 20,000, according to the NBA, for “directing inappropriate language towards a game official.”
In this sense, the report of the last two minutes of the League, also establishes that the referee was correct in not marking as illegal the contact of the Mavericks center: “According to the rules of the game, Willie Cauley-Stein of Dallas performs with step normal a screen from behind, which led to incidental and legal contact between Cauley-Stein and Young.
In this way, Young will not only have to face the fine that was imposed by the NBA for the way he addressed the referee of the match; otherwise, you will also have to accept the League’s report where it is made clear that your claim was not valid.
