NBA has explained in detail why the Sacramento Kings’ Domantas Sabonis hit the face of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry.
The controversial call was made during the match on Saturday where the King came out on top with a slight margin with a score of 134-133 on Friday.
NBA’s version about the controversial call was quoted in a report where it explained why it was not declared a foul.
"Sabonis follows through after attempting to reach the loose ball and contact occurs with Curry's head/face. Contact to an opponent's head/face can be deemed marginal when the result of a natural basketball move, provided the contact is not disproportionate or uncontrolled," the statement.
In the match, the first quarter ended up costing the Warriors where they finished eight points behind, something they could not recover from. It was the Warriors’ third defeat in the last four matches.
Curry had an impressive outing for the losing side as he ended up registering 33 points including six rebounds and two assists. It was the first occasion in the last eight outings in the competition where the 35-year-old ended up scoring 30 or more points. With that performance, Curry is now averaging 26.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.
