In today’s Utah Jazz game against the Phoenix Suns, the Suns finally defeated the Utah Jazz 106-95 and won their fourth victory.
However, in the game, Utah Jazz backup guard Jordan Clarkson was inexplicably called a technical foul in an offense. He was almost stolen by the opponent during a dribble. He hurried to retrieve the ball, but didn’t hit the referee who enforced it.

In order to retrieve the ball, Clarkson also reflexively pushed the referee away, but the ball unfortunately went out of bounds.
And just after he pushed the referee, the referee called Clarkson a technical foul because Clarkson had physical contact with him.
Clarkson was also a little surprised when he realized that he was pushing the referee, and his teammates called Clarkson wrong after seeing the referee blowing a technical foul.
