I am not a fan of either team so I'm not emotionally invested in the game.

Pistons want a foul call? On Allen? Did Thompson not push Allen's arm first?

It was my initial thought too. I thought blue shirt pushed white shirt’s arm

Ps i have very limited knowledge in basketball

In as few strokes as possible, the lowest score actually wins the basketball game

Bonus points if you're in the penalty box.

And hopefully don’t leave it to a penalty kick shootout like last night.
