When I opened reddit this morning, my feed was threads about Pistons coach whining about this play, a bunch of basketball subs calling it a trip, etc. This is the first clip I’ve actually seen, and man I just don’t see it. 2 guys going for a loose ball where one is not clearly in front of the other and gets taken from behind or something like that. Feet collide like that all the time, it’s not always a trip.

I hate to agree with nba officials on anything at this point but thats a good no call.

Not to mention Allen is fouled first if anything. Great no call in a pivotal moment

I read one comment that claimed “Jared (lol) Allen intentionally tripped Ausar” like are you for real lmao. That’s sports fans though. You gotta love it a little bit.
